ABSTRACT
The study sought to establish the effects of ban on holiday teaching on academic performance
in secondary schools in Soroti Municipality. This study aimed to establish the effect of
abolishing holiday teaching on academic performance in secondary schools, students’
perception of the ban on holiday teaching practice and identify strategies schools have
adopted to offer remedial classes in secondary schools in Soroti Municipality. The research
method adopted was descriptive cross sectional research design using both quantitative and
qualitative approaches. The researcher used sample of senior three students, teachers and
head teachers answer sample size of 175 respondents. Quantitative data analysis was done
using descriptive statistics and Pearson chi-square tests at a 0.05 level of significance. The
questionnaires and interview guide were the data collection instruments. The study
found out that the ban on holiday teaching tuition did not negatively affect academic
performance in secondary schools in Soroti Municipality. The study established that holiday
teaching was stressful; most students had little interest in it and could fatigue them. The
study established that holiday teaching was a strategy for syllabus coverage. It was therefore
recommended that: the MoE&S strengthens its surveillance team to prevent the practice, the
MoE&S strongly and impartiall enforces the policy on holiday teaching practice, and the
MoE&S gives a circular to head teachers identifying general strategies for remedial classes
for all schools to observe in the teaching time, that there is need to reduce syllabus content to manageable levels.
