This study followed a cross sectional research designs using mixed methods approaches where the target population was 1898 and a sample size consisted of two hundred thirty-six (236). In conclusion, the study establishes a moderate positive correlation between income from fish farming and pupils’ retention and suggests that fish farming plays a meaningful role in positively impacting educational outcomes in Amolator district. The researcher recommends that the government could involve implementing training programs to enhance farmers' skills, introducing innovative farming practices, and establishing support systems to overcome challenges. To further strengthen the positive correlation between income from fish farming and pupils' retention, interventions should focus on addressing challenges specific to fish farming. This may involve providing technical assistance, ensuring sustainable fishing practices, and creating market opportunities for fish farmers in order for parents to get more income and pay fees for their children.
