Respondents were thirty-one teachers, one school head and ninety learners from grade 1-6 of NCS. Survey questionnaires were answered by the respondents while an unstructured interview was conducted to learners to support the responses of the respondents. Findings showed that 1.) the profile of teachers was diverse 2.) there was a “Full Implementation” of LAC’s as perceived by the respondents 3.) level of effectiveness was perceived to be “Highly Effective” 4.) level of administrative support was perceived “Highly Supported” 5.) there were noted capabilities and constraints; constraints were used to formulate LAC’s enhancement program 6.) best practices were determined through Focus Group Discussion and need to be continued or improved. To improve the program,a validated LACs Enhancement Program was developed.
