Abstract
Oyam district just like other district is faced by a number of challenges. In ‘the
education section, there is performance factor which is quite prominent especially
at primary level. A number of factors are attributed to this and lack of in structural
materials is one among them. In social studies, performance has continued to
infect the children leading to their poor performance at PLE (IJNEB 2009). A
number of children in this area have taken to the streets; others have taken short
cut to wood and technical schools. On the part of girls, a number of them have
been pre-maturely married off, while others got pregnant and are wasted at home.
The government of Uganda has attempted to address this problem by encouraging
teachers to go for further training; there is also emphasis on workshops and
trailings. Many teachers have gone back to school for upgrading. The
government also has increased teachers salaries to motivate them to performance.
Some NGOs have also been instrumental in providing learning materials and fees
for pupils, providing counseling and guidance to pupils among others.
Much as there has been a number of an intervention to this, the problem of poor
academic performance still persists. That is why the researcher intends to
investigate the effect of in structural materials on academic performance of pupils
oyam a district.
