ItemInvestigating the impacts of improper feeding on academic performance of Biology in secondary schools in Wakiso District, Uganda.(Makerere University, 2026-01-27)This study examined the relationship between student feeding habits and academic performance in Biology, as well as possible interventions to improve nutrition among secondary school students. This study was guided by the following research objectives; to investigate the relationship between students' feeding habits and their academic performance in Biology. To examine the effects of improper feeding on students' performance in biology. To suggest possible interventions for improving students’ nutrition to enhance their academic performance in Biology. This study employed a mixed-methods research design, incorporating both qualitative and quantitative approaches. A survey was conducted among secondary school students to gather data on their feeding habits and academic performance. Additionally, interviews were conducted with teachers and school nutritionists to gain further insights. A total of 200 respondents participated in the survey. Results indicated that 65% of respondents believed their feeding habits influenced their Biology performance, while 20% reported noticing an improvement in understanding the subject when they ate well. However, a majority (55%) stated they did not experience noticeable changes, highlighting mixed perceptions of the feeding–performance link. When asked about strategies to improve feeding, the most preferred intervention was establishing school gardens (40%), followed by introducing balanced diet menus (25%), regular nutrition education (20%), and increasing funding for school meals (15%). These preferences suggest that respondents value sustainable, school-based solutions over purely financial interventions. The findings imply that sustainable food production, nutrition education, and diversified diets are key to improving student health and academic outcomes. The study recommends establishing school gardens, developing balanced diet menus, incorporating nutrition education into the curriculum, and enhancing community involvement in school feeding programs. Overall, addressing student nutrition through a combination of practical and educational interventions can contribute significantly to academic performance and wellbeing.
