Wanyana Suzan, Dr Ariyo Gracious Kazaara

Abstract:
The qualitative investigation had three goals: figuring out the connection between schooling and economic expansion, determining the difficulties associated with the dissemination of western education, and coming up with solutions to those difficulties. It examined the effects of western education on the economic and social growth of neighborhoods. The study found a correlation connecting the two factors that was positive and put out remedies for some of the problems found. According to the study, 109 (87.2%) of the people who participated firmly believed that disparities in wealth provide a threat to the structure of society, whereas 13 (10.4%) of them agreed and 3 (2.4%) disapproved. The majority of respondents-93 (74.4%) and 32 (25.6%)-strongly agreed that unscrupulous managers pose a threat to educational institutions in the west. The poll went on to find that more than half of participants, 67 (53.6%), completely agreed believed the continuing rise in school departures poses an obstacle to modern education; another 28 (22.4%) definitely accepted; 22 (17.6%) strongly disapproved; and 8 (6.4%) disapproved. Based on the results of the investigation and the findings of the investigator, the study advises town council school heads to intensify their efforts to raise teachers' conditions of living in western colleges and universities so that they can give what is expected of them.
