Specific objectives were: to examine pupils‟ abilities to read write and do arithmetic within a specified time; to assess pupils‟ participation in 3Rs during teaching and learning process, and find out whether there is an increasing rate of pupils in standard three who are able to demonstrate mastery of 3Rs for the past three years. Simple random and purposive sampling techniques were used to form a sample of 44 participants; including: 9 teachers, 3 from each of the sampled 3 public primary schools and 3 Head teachers; 30 pupils; and 2 Quality Assurance Officers from Chalinze District council who provided the data. The data for this study were analyzed by thematic analysis approach and Microsoft Excel 2016. The findings showed that teachers‟ in-service training has helped to increase pupil‟s ability in 3Rs in a period of three years for about 7% from 55% (2016) to 48% (2019) public primary schools. The availability of Room to Read in some schools in Chalinze District Council, teacher seminars, workshops and refresher courses are seen as central mechanisms for the improvement of teachers‟ content knowledge and their teaching skills hence, improvement of pupil‟s mastery of 3Rs. The problem of 3Rs for about 48% is still very high compared to education policy 1995, whereby pupils who complete standard two are expected to be competent in skills of reading, writing and doing arithmetic at their curriculum level by 100%. Shortage of teaching and learning materials, overcrowded classes, inadequate teachers for class one and two and parents‟ levels of education are among the challenges which led to unsuccessful achievement of teaching 3Rs. The study recommends schools management and teachers to continue supporting teachers‟ efforts to improve pupils‟ mastery of 3Rs.They should strive to improve both teacher and learner related factors which seem to influence pupils‟ mastery of 3Rs like in service trainings and seek for support from the government and non- government organisations for the purpose of improving pupils‟ mastery of 3Rs.
