This study examined the impact of school feeding programs on learners’ academic performance in selected primary schools in Kabwe District, Zambia. A mixed-method approach was used, combining qualitative and quantitative techniques. From a target population of 800, a sample of 150 participants was selected, including administrators, teachers, students, and community members from five schools.Stratified random sampling ensured balanced representation of all groups. Data were collected through questionnaires, interviews, and focus group discussions, allowing both statistical analysis and exploration of participants’ experiences. Quantitative data were analyzed using Microsoft Excel, while qualitative data were examined through thematic analysis.Findings from previous studies indicate a positive link between school feeding programs and improved academic outcomes, mainly due to better nutrition enhancing concentration and cognitive performance. This study contributes to understanding how such programs influence education in Kabwe District and provides insights to guide policy and improve school feeding initiatives in Zambia.
