Abstract | This paper examined the impact of the UNICEF supported school feeding programm on the academic performance of pupils in the Federal Capital. The survey research design was adopted in this study. A sample of 385 pupils; from school feeding schools, 216 from non-school feeding schools and 30 teachers from school feeding schools were utilized for the study. One research question and one hypothesis guided the study. A self-structured 13-item questionnaire was administered to gather data for the study. The Mean Standard Deviation was used to analyze the research question while t-test was utilized to test the hypothesis at.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that: teachers agree that the SFP had a positive impact on the performance of pupils in the area of the attention span of pupils, the stability of pupils in class and that pupils were consistent in their academic performance. The hypothesis tested revealed a significant difference between the performance of pupils under the school feeding program and the pupils without a school feeding program. This paper recommends among others that the federal government of Nigeria should scale up the implementation of the SFP to cover all states of the federation so as to benefit more school children in their academic performance. |
