Abstract
This study assessed the relevance and effectiveness of the Performance Appraisal System (PAS) in evaluating teacher performance in Lusaka, Zambia. Despite its implementation, the study found limited improvement in teacher performance, with challenges in the PAS process. The research aimed to explore the understanding of PAS among head teachers and teachers, participation in the system, and identify flaws in its application. Findings revealed that while PAS is relevant, it faces issues such as limited understanding, restricted participation, lack of feedback, and operational inefficiencies. The study recommended addressing these challenges to improve the system’s effectiveness and efficiency.
