This study sought to investigate on Science Teachers’ remuneration and their Job
Performance among Government Aided Secondary Schools in Mbarara District, Uganda. The study
employed a descriptive survey research design. The target population was 126 science teachers and
head teachers in seven government-aided secondary schools in Mbarara District. The study randomly
sampled 96 science teachers and seven Head Masters using Yamens’ formula. A questionnaire and an
interview schedule were used as source of data from the field. The study established that parent teachers association (PTA) and Secondary Science and Mathematics training allowances were the
most common allowances in schools under investigation. Extra teaching allowances, salary increment,
duty allowance and overtime allowances were moderately perceived to exist. Remuneration
motivated teachers in carrying out such school activities as to complete syllabus, to promote good
performance and quality of teaching and to attend classes regularly. Therefore, the government
through the ministry of education should ensure that science teachers are provided with attractive
remunerations in order to sustain their motivation toward teaching
