Abstract

This study aims at investigating the effect of school feeding program on students’ academic performance in Rubavu district of Rwanda. The school feeding program has been one of the best strategies for enhancing the students’ academic performance in 9&12 YBE schools since 2014. The study employed 380 students sampled from 12 schools of Rubavu district. Among them 204 were males while 176 were females. The study used a correlation design. The demographic variables were reported by using frequencies and percentages while the descriptive questions were analysed by using mean and standard deviation tools of SPSS. The relationship between variables were studied by using Pearson correlation whereas the predictive model was reported by analysing regression tools of SPSS. The results showed the high perception of respondents on School feeding program (M = 3.83; Std. D = 1.17). The same respondents scored high perception on Students’ academic performance (M = 4.32; Std. D = .87). The study demonstrated a strong positive correlation between School feeding program and Students’ academic performance (r = .529**, N = 380, P = .000). Finally, the regression analysis results showed that School feeding program predicts the Students’ academic performance at the level of 28% of variance. From those findings, the study recommends for future researchers to study other factors that contribute to the performance of students such as the teacher students’ ratio, parental involvement, and school infrastructures. Key words: teacher students’ ratio, parental involvement, and school infrastructures.
