Abstract
Abstract: This study investigated the influence of physiological needs on academic performance in public primary schools of the Eastern Zone of Nakuru Municipality. The study used survey research design to establish the influence of adequate nutrition, adequate water, adequate sleep, and family well-being on academic performance of class 8 pupils in the area of study. The study target population was 800. 370 respondents were chosen for the study through systematic random sampling. Response rate to the questionnaire administeredstood at 72%. Descriptive statistics were used to present the data and one way ANOVA was used to analyze the influence of the independent on the dependent variables. Provision of adequate nutrition, provision of adequatewater and the feeling that one’s needs were met at the family level signed influence on academic performance. The study concluded that though Maslow’s theory of hierarchy of needs gave valuable insight on the role thatmeeting physiological needs played on academic performance it was not completely adequate in explaining why some pupils who were physiologically deprived still ended up performing well in examinations. The outcome of this study could be instrumental in instructing intervention measures by the Ministry of Education in implementing learning programmes in deprived schools.
