dc.description.abstract	This study was prompted by the conflicting reports on the teachers’ performance in the selected primary schools in Kagadi town council, Kagadi District. This research evaluated how Teachers' motivation impacts learners’ academic performance in Kagadi Town Council; analyzed how organizational factors influence learners’ academic performance in Kagadi Town Council; and identified causes of teacher demotivation affecting learners’ academic performance in primary schools in Kagadi Town Councill. A correlational descriptive research design was used. The major data collection methods and tools used were self-administered questionnaire interviews and group discussions. Data was analysed partly using SPSS and frequency Counts and percentages. The findings presented indicated that 80% of the teachers were demotivated and there is poor performance. The study recommended that other factors other than money as motivator should be applied to create job satisfaction among the teachers. It also recommended the application of organizational factors such as recognition and appreciation and many more to impress and improve on teachers’ motivation. It recommended that every school should have a human resource manager who is able to assess in time the declining motivation of teachers and its causes and advise the management accordingly. The study further recommended that head teachers be trained in human resource management and planning in order to improve teacher motivation for improved performance	en_US
