Abstract

This study investigated the effect of school feeding programs on enrolment, retention, and completion rates in primary schools in Kebbi State. Using a mixed-methods approach, the research analyzed data from surveys, interviews, and secondary sources. The findings revealed that school feeding programs significantly positively impact all three educational outcomes. By addressing nutritional needs, reducing poverty, and improving student well-being, these programs incentivize parents to enrol their children in school, reduce dropout rates, and enhance academic performance.
