To the government, there should be provision of money to cater for teaching
aids and materials necessary for learning. Policies should also be written where
the topic of motivation should be included in the teacher training colleges. This
will provide quality teaching in the schools. The school environment should be
improved to allow enough space for learning.
Play should be compuls01y to all learners as it motivates them to be in school.
The parents should always be involved in matters related to learning and
motivation of learners whether through physical rewards or prizes during P1izegiving
days. Areas for further research were also proposed on the following
topics: the role of Childhood Education Centres in provision of education in
Kenya and the effect of using untrained teachers in Early Childhood Education
Centres, on academic performance.
