dc.description.abstractSchool Feeding Programme constitutes a critical intervention that has been introduced in many developed and developing countries in the World to address the issue of poverty, stimulate enrollment of pupils and enhance pupil performance. The study assessed the effect of School Feeding Programme on educational development in Zaria and MakarfiLocal Government Areas. This is done with a view to determine its effect on Enrollment, Retention and Academic performance of the pupils. The study adopted the survey research design and obtained its datafrom primary and secondary sources. The primary data was obtained through a structured questionnaire administered to Zaria and MakarfiLocal Government Areas of Kaduna State. The Questionnaire was complemented by an in-depth interview ofselected officers involved in the supervision and monitoring of the School Feeding Programme. The retrieved data were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The result shows thatpupils were fed daily through the School Feeding Programme which has resulted in the increase of pupils‟ enrollment, retention as well as enhanced their academic performance in class activity which is due to the effect of the programme. The major finding of the study shows that there is significant relationship between School Feeding Programme and enrollment, retention and academic performance of primary school pupils in Zaria and Makarfi Local Government Area of Kaduna State. The major constraint found wasthat the food supplied sometimes is not sufficient due to increase in population and some workers do take home part of the food for personal consumption. It was therefore, recommended among others that disciplinary action should be taken on workers who take food home and Government should endeavor to sustain School Feeding Programmein order to encourage pupils to enroll and remain in school as well as concentrate on their learning.The study therefore concludes that School Feeding Programmein Zaria and Makarfi Local Government Areas has positively affected the level of education and also contributed to a significant reduction in school drop-out rate considering the important role School Feeding Programme is playing in relation to enrollment, attendance and academic performance.
