Abstract:
Adolescents spend much of their lives in activities
associated with their school and the school’s social, psychological
and learning climate all have a strong impact on the emotional
and social development of young people. School climate refers to
the atmosphere or ethos of a school, and the nature and quality
of the interpersonal relationships and communication patterns
within the school. It follows that the culture of a school clearly
plays a role in shaping students’ experience, and research has
emphasized the importance of developing a positive school
climate in order to reduce school violence. This study was carried
out to determine the relationship between the school
environment and the students’ aggressive behaviour in Bungoma
County in Kenya
