Abstract There has been an outcry about government’s neglect of teachers’ welfare within most secondary schools government-aided within Uganda. This study aimed at examining the link amongst welfare and teacher performance among secondary schools government-aided within Kayunga District, Uganda. The specific objectives of the study were; i) to examine the relationship between accommodation and teacher performance, ii) to examine the relationship between allowances and teacher performance, and iii) to examine the relationship between medical care and teacher performance among government aided secondary schools in Kayunga District, Uganda. This research embraced a correlational research design coupled with a quantitative approach. A sample size of 123 respondents was considered constituting of administrators and teachers from the two selected government aided secondary schools in the district. Both descriptive analysis and correlation analysis were employed to provide answers to the study phenomenon. This research revealed that (i) there is a moderately positive and statistically substantial link amongst accommodation and teacher performance among government aided secondary schools in Kayunga District, Uganda (r = 0.475, P-value = .000), (ii) there was a strong positive and statistically significant relationship between allowances and teachers effectiveness in secondary government-aided schools in Kayunga District, Uganda (r = 0.547, P-value = 0.000) and (iii) there is a strong positive and statistically significant relationship between medical care and teacher performance among government aided secondary schools in Kayunga District, Uganda (r = 0.523, P-value = 0.000). Therefore, the study concluded that an improvement in welfare in terms of accommodation, allowances, and medical care can lead to a significant improvement in teacher performance among secondary government-aided schools within Kayunga District, Uganda. The study recommended that the government and school administrators should boost teachers ‘welfare by giving them allowances, medical care, and accommodation as these play a significant role in enhancing teachers’ motivation, commitment and eventual improvement in performance.
