ABSTRACT: Learning environment and resources are the main determinants of internal efficiency in schools. A disrupted learning environment is one where there is an impediment to the flow of lessons and learning due to interruptions and events that hinder the normal day-to-day school activities. This situation occurs in schools that have been adversely affected by external factors such as natural disasters and wars, and in this case, pastoralist banditry. The purpose of the study was to assess the influence of selected ramification of banditry activities on internal efficiency of public primary schools in Tiaty west Sub county in Baringo County, Kenya. The study objective was to assess the extent to which disruption of learning influences internal efficiency of public primary schools in Tiaty West Subcounty in Baringo County, Kenya. This study was based on human capital theory and cultural economic Theory. This study adopted a descriptive survey design.Target population was 237 respondents. The target population comprised of 77 head teachers, 77 senior teachers of all public primary schools in Tiaty West Sub County in Baringo County, 77 parents’ representatives and 6 Curriculum Support Officers (CSOs) of the region. Sampling was done using Krejcie and Morgan (1970) sample size table and simple random sampling method. The sample size was 47 head teachers, 47 senior teachers, 47 parents’ representatives and 4 CSOs. Total sample size was 145 respondents. Questionnaires and interview schedules were used to collect data from the respondents. To enable the quantitative tool to be evaluated. The instrument's internal consistency was tested at a value greater than 0.7 by calculating the reliability coefficients for Cronbach's alpha. Face validity was ascertained through expert judgment and in this case the university supervisors gave more guidance on the facial validity. Prior to the commencement of data collection, the study obtained all the necessary documents, including an introduction letter from the University and a permit from the National Commission for Science Technology and Innovation (NACOSTI). Authority was sought from the County Education Officer to carry out the study. Demographic characteristics was analyzed using descriptive statistics. Chi square statistics were used to examine the association between selected ramification of banditry activities on internal efficiency of public primary schools in Tiaty West Subcounty Baringo County, Kenya at 5% significance level. The results indicated that there were significant associations between disruption of learning and internal efficiency of public primary schools. This led to the rejection of null hypotheses. This was because Chi Square statistics were below 0.05 level of significance. The study concluded that there is significant association between selected ramification of banditry activities on internal efficiency of public primary schools. It recommended solutions to the consequence of banditry activities on internal efficiency of public primary schools in public primary schools in Tiaty West Sub County, Baringo County, Kenya.
