The intentions of this enquiry were to examine the consequences of physical infrastructure on indiscipline practices among learners in secondary schools in Eldoret East Sub-County, Kenya. This was in the light of the concern that an increased number of student indiscipline cases in the nation, which included strikes and setting blaze school facilities, had been reported. The study was guided by Social Control Theory. Ex-post facto research design was used and a sample of 346 students and 54 deputy principals took part in the study. Questionnaires and interview schedule were used to collect data. Descriptive statistics was evaluated in form of frequencies, percentages, average and standard variation. ANOVA was used to test the hypotheses. The status of physical infrastructures (F [27, 293] = 1.142, p = .290). The study concluded that the status of physical infrastructure had no effect on indiscipline cases in Eldoret East Sub-County. The study recommended that schools should look into other factors that may lead to indiscipline among secondary school students and that schools with limited resources should put more emphasis on school regulations to reduce indiscipline.
