    (Uganda Christian University, 2025-09-04) Agaba Nyangwabyaki Edwardo
    The study was about informal education and children‘s moral development in Kabira sub-county Mitooma District. It was guided by three specific objectives: to examine the relationship between informal education and children‘s moral development in Kabira sub-county, Mitooma District; to analyze the relationship between peer influence and children‘s moral development in Kabira sub-county, Mitooma District; to establish the viable relationship between family values/ attitudes and children‘s moral development in Kabira sub-county, Mitooma District. A literature review was done based on the objectives of the study. The research design was exploratory and employed a majorly quantitative approach, though some aspects of a qualitative approach were also used. The study found that informal education strongly affected children‘s moral development. It gave an average mean (2.88). The study also found that peers had a high influence on children‘s moral development, with an average mean of 2.98, and that there were high family values that contributed to children‘s moral development. According to the findings, the study concluded that there was a high relationship between informal education and children‘s moral development in Kabira Sub-County, Mitooma District. The research recommended that families, being a foundation of morals, should not leave children to teachers to take a big hand in moral upbringing, but instead should protect, shape, and give guidance to their children on good morals.
