This research was based on three objectives including: to explore the views of teachers and pupils on the extent to which instructional facilities affect pupil performance, to examine the challenges that teachers in Mater-Dei Nursery and Primary School face in accessing instructional materials and to assess the strategies that teachers use to minimize the challenges of attaining and using quality instructional materials. The study adopted a cross sectional survey design. The study population involved all Mater-Dei Nursery and Primary School in satellite town. Out of 38 Mater-Dei Nursery and Primary School in satellite town 5 schools were randomly selected for data collection. In each school, 5 teachers and 20 pupils filled semi- structured questionnaire.
