Abstract
The study investigated the impact of multiple loans on teacher professional performance in selected primary schools of Industrial Division, Mbale City. The study was guided by the following objectives: To examine the effects of multiple loans on teachers’ planning of teaching, the effects of multiple loans on teachers’ delivery of teaching and to assess the effects of multiple loans on teachers’ assessment of learning in primary schools in Industrial Division Mbale City. The study employed descriptive design where both quantitative and qualitative approaches were used. Findings from the study were presented in tables, pie charts, and analyzed descriptively. The findings divulged that respondents were aware of the dangers associated with multiple loans on teacher professional performance, inadequate time, inadequate preparation, lack of entrepreneurial skills and improper usage of multiple loans. Multiple loans lead to poverty, teacher negligence, loss of self-respect and poor standards of living. It was also unearthed that a strong correlation exists between primary school teachers’ multiple loans and professional teachers’ performance. The researcher recommended for refresher courses to equip teachers with entrepreneurial skills, create income generating projects that supplement them with an additional income alongside monthly salaries, intensify monitoring, daily inspection to encourage teachers to keep track of preparation tools such as lesson plans, schemes of work, lesson notes, and records of work covered among others to ensure effective delivery and quality education.
