Abstract
The purpose of this research was to examine the impact of the COVID-19 disease on the
performance in mathematics in secondary schools in Tororo District. Tororo Girls’ School was
selected for this study. Analytical survey research design was applied in this investigation. 125
respondents were selected at random for the research. These included students, teachers and a
Headteacher. Information was collected with the use of the Promotional Mathematics Performance
Score Sheet (PMPSS). Results revealed that students' performance in mathematics was very high
before the COVID-19 disease but dropped drastically during the pandemic and slightly improved
after the pandemic. There was a significant difference in students' performance in mathematics
before and during the COVID-19 disease but there was no such difference in performance during
and after the outbreak. In addition, there was no obvious difference in performance between the
gender during the pandemic. The study recommended among others that Mathematics teachers
should work harder in instructional delivery and also employ diagnostic and remedial instructional
strategy to improve the performance of students which has been negatively impacted by the
COVID-19 disease.
