As a moment or so(prenominal) girls argon shakeping out of school and childly men craziness into crime due to addiction to drugs. You find that most of the time fall by three-year-old kids is spent in institutions of learning and in that respectfore the enquire to invest a lot into this age bracket (9- 18 years). It is near this age that this children question things, seek to identify themselves with something or someone, there is overly growth in reproductive health (E. Njagi, 2009). They are also in t ruth eager to try almost incessantlyything. A two to three hours seance fortnightly would yield less impact to their live. Instead, if it is incorporated into the broadcast it would forge behaviors positively. The future of a republic is vested in this age. Hence, no one should ever neglect these children. Inclusion of guidance and focusing in curriculum would accommodate students towards embracing a culture of responsible behavior. This investigate proposal give therefore, seek to gather information so as to read the focusing forward in advising making of policies in the education sector. This get out be through action investigateBackground InformationSurvey reports presents millions of four-year-old men and women indulging into socially unaccepted activities. This purge with having departments in the presidential term working towards ensuring that, the society is clean. It is evident that we expertness non get rid of drugs and substance abuse, crime and teenage p regnancy. exactly most in the end we eject work towards reducing the numbers. Whether one is rich or poor, if they are not informed about some things they might fall victims. up to now though my research is based in Kiambu County, it would go a farsighted way in advising the organisation on policy making in the education sector.We bath immunize the degree of social ills if only we interlock responsibility. And one is by ensuring that guidance and instruction is included in the curriculum of upper primary, secondary and first year of tertiary learning.It is alarming that consort to F. Chesang (2013, pg 126), Up to 30 to 40% in class seven, eight and form one collect taken drugs at one time or another. medicines abused are available next to all(prenominal) familys door. They are available next to every familys door. They are available everyplace anytime, in kiosks, bars, social gatherings and over the counter. They are available in every street corner, sold by the street people and other specialized gangs. So, as investors and entrepreneurs mushroom everywhere around the society. The government should also get on with their scope of protecting the promising commonwealth from manipulation and enticement into venturing into drugs and other social ills. It important that we establish ways to ensure that, a population is healthy. A healthy population is a productive population.Aim of the ResearchThe aim of this research is to establish problems encountered by students, and they have no practical way of overcoming them. This problems include peer pressure, domestic violence etc. which as a result if there is no mechanism to counter the pull they might end up in drugs, drop out of school, engage in pre marital sex, venture into crime, abortion etcThis research would also helper unravel social ills that might have been neglected, as a result leading to confusion of identity among young population. With confusion there is likelihood of engaging into socially unaccepted practices.There has been less contact at the learning institutions in this case, as far as guidance and counseling is concerned. As result, the growing and curious students end up picking on bad behaviors due to lack of information.It will endeavor to help the government receive up with structure and strategies to ensure total protection of the puerile as enshrined in the de facto constitution of the republic of Kenya. It is protection from anything that might altercate their academic and skills development focus.This research will also seek to establish the prevalence of the drugs and knowledge about themLiterature ReviewMany scholars and scientists have been able to identify many types of social ills and police detectives disseminating diverse findings and statistic about them. virtuoso challenge that come about is the fact that schools have guidance and counseling departments but they are rarely up to task. Character and knowledge might be gotten from homes (J. Drescher, 1973) but institutions have got more to do in construction character of its students. We fundament be proud of schools but, according to Kenya National potency of Statistics (2012) there was an increase in number of reported offences from 9,929 cases (2009) to 10,016 (2011), in substitution Province which is truly the highest compared to other provinces. Citizen Television last year featured, young men in Dandora as young as 14 years, having guns and actually already being in criminal activitiesThe age mentioned in my research is very critical. It holds the future of a republic. They are adventurous and therefore, they need to be monitored. The curriculum that exists is okey for children development, but it would be appropriate to have adjudge guidance and counseling at all levels of child development (J. Greata, 2006).R. Maithya (2009) says that Families preserve have a powerful influence on shaping the attitudes, determine and behaviour of children. During so cialization, parents and family members direct young peoples conduct along desired channels, and enforce conformity to social norms. In traditional African society, socialization began with the birth of a child and progressed in stages to old age, grammatical construction on preceding socially recognized achievements. Again, there are several(prenominal) levels of socialization apart from family, it includes, peers and school is also very important in socialization. It is the reason why there is needs to have guidance and counseling incorporated in the curriculum. It will only help create a culture of responsible acts.It is important to note that we cannot isolate kids from their peers hence, the need to come up with ways to help them relate effectively without negative influence, from the age of 8, students detach themselves from their parents in need of some sort of independence, their employ logical system in reasoning and experience improved understanding of concepts. It is whe re friends matters most and hence, kids can be easily manipulated by morally corrupt peers (J. Greata, 2006). As in brief as students join secondary school.They are at a greater risk of indulging into drug abuse and making it an obsession. All this happens in quest of recognition and seeking to conform to codes of a certain host. It could be through coercion, protection from bullies or extension of a habit that started in the final years of primary education.With all this challenges, it is important to note that the young population contributes 50% of the total population (G. Ondieki, Z. Ondieki, 2012). According to Ndirangu (2004), traditional value and family patterns, which had, for long given the society coherence, sense of belonging and identity have been assaulted and in some cases, discarded altogether in our shrinking spherical village(cited in G. Ondieki and Z. Ondieki, 2014 pg 467) access to media content that would be violent or even explicit, exposure to western cultu re among other factors influence the lens they view the world with. The only placed to channel most resources is where this kids spend frequently of their time.G. Ondieki and Z. Ondieki, 2012 also mention that, Kenya is committed to providing education for every child not just for human rights but also as a demand element for social-economic development. Consequently drug use and abuse is therefore place as one of the problems that hinder children from taking full advantage of educational opportunities. We can therefore understand the intensity at which lack of integrated guidance and counseling affect the nation. It only by understands the fragility of teenagers that we can be able to embark on a lasting base toward eradicating drug usage in Kenya but by also putting up structures that will help save this generation.Y. Ronen (2004, pg148) captures a very polar point in the importance of resulting children to self actualize themselves in their identity, allowing them to explo re. But again, it is the responsibility of the parents to ensure that they monitor their children plot at home while the mandate shift while kids are in the institutions of learning.Methodology season in the field, I will employ diverse action research approach method. This is because my endeavor will be coming up with qualitative data. Since I will be dealing with students, staffs, government officials and school drop outs, I will ensure maximum use of focus group discussion, and interviews where necessary (especially when dealing with staffs and government officials).After each day action at law in the field, in the evening we will be working on data interpretation and analysis. So, as not to leave out some data that might be of importance to our findingsThis will also allow for informal discussion on topic defined by the researcherEthical IssuesAs researchers there are different people to whom I pay my allegiance to. In this case, my respondents/interviewees are the ones that s hould show loyalty and integrity. Since they are vulnerable, while working with focus groups, I will ensure that there is total immunity from their identity being known to the recipients of my finding. So,I will give name letters or numbers for the sake of their security. piece doing research, I will allow them to bombard me with information so that I can have a lot to withdraw data from.The name calling will neither be known by readers of my work or policy makers if they take up the findings.Any data surrendered to me will keep on private and confidential.Data DisseminationAs soon as I complete my research I will focus on tending to seminars involving education sector and the National Agency for the Campaign Against drug scream (NACADA). I also plan to submit my work to a real publisher to be printed as books. Policy briefs will kick upstairs my dissemination of my findings especially meeting with policy makers on topical occasions. I also plan to send my work to journal publ ishers so that scholars can access and use it for their scholarly work.One Month Timetable For the Field roleplayBUDGET FOR THE EXECETION OF THE ASSIGNMENT(ONE MONTH)ReferencesE.
