Abstract: This paper assessed the provision, quality and adequacy of welfare facilities in selected schools of Lusaka city. The study used descriptive survey design. To this effect, 5 schools were sampled to participate in this study. Data was collected using focus group discussions and unstructured observation. Data analysis was done through thematic content analysis. The findings revealed that welfare facilities were positively associated with teachers’ and pupils’ performance in schools. The study, therefore, recommended that education policy makers, implementers and all stakeholders must pay much attention to the provision of welfare facilities in schools to cater for teachers, pupils and other school staff. These welfare facilities include clean drinking water, sanitary conveniences, eating facilities, change rooms and so on.
