	<span style="line-height:1.5;">This
study attempted to determine teacher perception on school factors affecting
their work. In order to attain this determination, the following variables were
used: administrative support, workload, staff development, student discipline,
salary, school facilities, and role expectation. One
hundred and sixty eight (168) teachers participated in this study. Major data
collection tools were questionnaires. The validity was determined by the expert
use of experienced researchers from the university of Eastern Africa, Baraton.
Internal consistency of the data obtained from this research
instruments was determined by the use of Cronbach¡¯s coefficient Alpha. The
reliability coefficient for each section of the questionnaire addressing
different variables was computed based on the responses given by the teachers
from the</span><span style="line-height:1.5;"> two schools which were involved in a pilot study. The coefficient that
determined the reliability of the instrument for this study was 0.811 far above
the 0.6, thus the instrument was reliable for data collection. All statistical techniques selected were done by the use of the
statistical package for social science (SPSS) program. The results indicate
that there is minimal administrative support from the administration, and teachers are overloaded, and staff
development has been sparingly done, and student discipline, though not
a big problem in schools should be improved. Teachers indicated that there was
need to provide facilities which give extra energy to the teaching and learning
process.</span>
