By extending the given action of a discrete group G on a Tychonoff space X to βX, it is proved that the Stone-Čech compactification of the orbit space of X is the orbit space of the Stone-Čech compactification βX of X, when G is finite. The notion of G-retractive spaces is introduced and it is proved that the orbit space of a G-retractive space with G finite, is G-retractive.
