    (management university of africa, 2023-11) Dinah Aulo; Eric Onyango; Christine Okelo
    The upsurge of criminal offences in schools and families, depicts an existing problem in the Kenyan society. This affects the family set up being the most import social unit and the relationship between teachers and students in learning institutions. About 40% of family murder cases, violence, rape, incest has been recorded, while about 50% of student – teacher violence, confrontations and disrespect have been recorded. This has led to offenders being arrested and put to trial by the law. Such offences affect harmony in the family as a social unit and undermine effective management of learning institutions thus defeating the achievement of expected goals of education by removing conflicts and promoting a positive attitude of mutual respect, in order to enhance a harmonious society and environment that should positively contribute to national development. The purpose of this study is to investigate causes, types, effects of conflicts, understanding knowledge and possible contribution of the teaching of moral values in educational institutions. The research will be conducted based on the conflict theory, the teleological/deontological theories and the Psychoanalytic theory. The respondents of the study included sampled students and teachers in selected learning institutions in Nairobi County. A total of 100 participants were involved; both Google questionnaires and self-administered questionnaires was used to collect data. Qualitative Descriptive statistical method was also used to carry out the research.
