Abstract
Teacher performance is a vital process that aids in the achievement of school goals and objectives,
while also benefiting the teachers themselves. This research aimed to explore the impact of teacher
welfare on student achievement in mathematics in Kween District’s secondary schools. The
research employed a cross-sectional survey design, using both quantitative and qualitative methods
for data collection and analysis. Data was collected through interviews and structured
questionnaires. The sample consisted of 40 teachers from 4 secondary schools in Kween District,
selected at random. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics, while qualitative
data was analysed thematically. The findings revealed a strong correlation between the welfare of
mathematics teachers and their performance, which subsequently influenced student achievement
in mathematics. The attitudes' of school leaders were also found to significantly affect teacher
welfare in Kween District’s secondary schools. The study recommends that,s government should
implement strategies to improve staff accommodation, provide adequate facilities for teacher
satisfaction, and ensure the availability of balanced meals and medical services for teachers. The
provision of educational resources such as desks, seating facilities, teaching materials, appreciation
for the work done and infrastructure was also emphasized. Additionally, it was suggested that there
is need for school leaders and stakeholders to provide allowances and improve working conditions
for teachers, thereby enhancing job satisfaction and motivation.
