Abstract: "The purpose of the study was to assess the relationship between the discipline enforcement techniques and academic performance in 9YBE and 12YBE schools in Musanze District, following the cases of indiscipline in these schools at a high rate. The study consists of three specific objectives: To assess the relationship between school-based techniques, home-based techniques, and local leaders' involvement in the discipline enforcement and students' academic performance in 9 &12 YBE schools of Musanze. The questionnaires were the main instruments of data collection. The study's target population was 257 subjects from which a sample of 72 participants was chosen and which is under a quantitative approach. The study used correlational research design as a research technique to measure the relationship between two variables. It's used purposive and simple random sampling techniques to get the sampled respondents- Headteachers, Director of Studies, Director of Discipline, and Parents from School Genera Assembly Committee. This study found a significant relationship (r=0.1729) between students' academic performance and school-based techniques for discipline enforcement in 9YBE and shows a meaningful relationship (r=0.1962) between student academic performance and home-based techniques in discipline enforcement in 9YBE schools of Musanze District. Results showed a significant relationship between local leaders' involvement in discipline enforcement and students' academic performance in 9YBE schools of Musanze District. This research proved that, in 12YBE schools of Musanze District, there is a significant relationship between academic performance and School-based techniques (r=0.439), a significant relationship between academic performance and home-based techniques in discipline enforcement (r=0.2131), as well as between academic performance and local leaders' involvement in the discipline enforcement (r=0.2246). The study recommends that other researchers look for other variables that could impact students' academic performance, such as teachers' remuneration/salaries, incentives, and school materials and equipment."
