Abstract
This study investigates factors influencing holistic learning in upgraded schools in Mumuni Zone, Lusaka District, Zambia. The objectives included examining instructional materials, infrastructure, and learning environments. Using a mixed-method approach, data was collected from 53 respondents, including teachers and deputy headteachers from three schools. Findings reveal that holistic learning was limited due to inadequate teaching methods, learning spaces, and pastoral care, despite a relevant curriculum. Instructional materials were scarce, and only administrative infrastructure was adequate. The study recommends increasing classroom space, improving material access, and encouraging community and private sector involvement to enhance learning environments.
