ABSTRACT The purpose of this research study was to examine the influence of social media on educational attainment of students in selected secondary schools in Kitgum Municipality, Kitgum District. Five research questions guided the study. To achieve this, the descriptive survey research design was adopted. The purposive sampling technique was used to select a sample of students to participate in the study. The study also employed the use of cross-sectional survey method using a five-point Likert Type Rating Scale Questionnaire titled Social Media and educational Attainment of Students Questionnaire (SMEAS) to collect data from the participants. The descrz~tive statistics of frequency counts and percentage were used to analyze the demographic data and major concepts of the research. The research findings showed that a great number of students (30.5%) in the selected secondaiy schools in Kitgum Municipality, Kitgurn district are addicted to social media irrespective of their age, sex and education level. To this end the researcher recommended that the government, through the relevant authorities, should remove taxes on online educational SNSs which provide avenues for discussions amongst students; school management bodies and the government should adopt the use of social media in the teaching-learning process since it has got a sign~Icant influence on students’ educational attainment. However, adequate control mechanisms should be formulated in this regards so as to check against social media misuse in schools. Parents should, at all times, impart good morals on their children so as to create consciousness of what they share online. This will help guard against instances of cyber-bullying, exposure to pornographic materials privacy encroachment, among others; and~ students should create online social learning groups for academic consultations and discussions amongst themselves and their teachers.
