ABSTRACT

SSS NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
Students have rules for three reasons: (1) to help keep them safe, (2) to help
them get along and work together, and (3) to help them learn. This research study
focuses on exploring grade 10 students' satisfaction with the school rules and
regulations at SSS National Highschool. The study aims to investigate various
aspects of satisfaction, including the clarity and transparency of the rules, their
impact on academic performance, fairness to the students, safety and inclusive
environment, and consistency of implementation. Through a mixed-methods
approach, quantitative and qualitative data are collected to gain a comprehensive
understanding of students' satisfaction levels. A survey questionnaire is
administered to grade 10 students to assess their perceptions and experiences
regarding school rules and regulations. Additionally, interviews and focus group
discussions are conducted to delve deeper into students' perspectives and gather
qualitative insights. The findings of this research will provide valuable insights into
grade 10 students' satisfaction with the school rules and regulations. The results
will inform the school administration about the strengths of the existing rules and
areas that may require improvement. Recommendations based on the findings can
be implemented to enhance the clarity, fairness, safety, inclusivity, and consistency
of the school rules and regulations. This study holds significance in promoting a
positive and conducive school environment. By understanding and addressing
students' satisfaction with the rules and regulations, the school administration can
foster a supportive learning environment that contributes to student's academic
success and overall well-being. Additionally, the research outcomes will contribute
to the existing body of knowledge on students' perceptions of school rules and
regulations, providing insights for future researchers and educators.

Theoretical Framework
The theoretical framework for this study draws upon several relevant theories
and concepts related to satisfaction with school rules and regulations The following
theories can provide insights and guidance for understanding and analyzing the
students' level with the school rules and regulations at SSS National Highschool:
This theory suggests that students' satisfaction with rules and regulations may be
influenced by their expectations and perceived value of these rules. According to this
framework, students are more likely to be satisfied when they perceive the rules as

theory, people weigh the potential benefits and risks of their social relationships.
This theory emphasizes the idea that student satisfaction with rules and
Students evaluate the rules based on the benefits they receive (e.g., safety,
Adams Equity Theory. According to the theory, finding this fair balance helps to

perceptions of fairness play a crucial role in their satisfaction levels. Students evaluate
the rules based on the distribution of resources, consequences, and treatment. If they
perceive the rules as fair and equitable, they are more likely to be satisfied. (Adams,
J.S. (1963).
By integrating these theories, the study can analyze and interpret the data collected
regarding the school rules and regulations at SSS National Highschool. The findings
can provide valuable insights for improving the rules and regulations and addressing

According to Mafabi, B. 2009,, most students feel good about many school
regulations, but if it weren't for those rules, the place wouldn't have been nice. As
to why these school rules exist, it is mainly and most commonly explained by
students that they are there to prevent any of them from harming anyone or
councils, and the prefectorial body. It also includes participation in group decision-
making, such as a student poll or consultation (Jeruto and Kiprop, 2011). In fact,
it's frequently thought that parents, society as a whole, and school administrators
have trouble coming up with guidelines for schools. The major reason for this is
that students are treated like teenagers and frequently lack the understanding of
essential governance concerns like school regulations, this is not the case
