Programme of Pastoral Instruction (PPI) is perceived as an easy subject needing little teaching because it is a mere extension of church services and the Bible. This leads to a negative attitude towards the subject. The attitude of teachers towards a subject affect how a programme is implemented. Some teachers in primary schools have a perspective that the programme of pastoral instruction is a source of disunity. The study sought to establish teacher attitude towards the implementation of the programme of pastoral instruction. The study was guided by Motivator-Hygiene theory. The study employed a descriptive survey research design. A simple random sampling technique was used to select fourteen catholic sponsored primary schools in Marakwet West Sub-County Elgeyo Marakwet County. All headteachers of the sample schools participated in the study. A simple random sampling technique was used to select 42 PP1 teachers and 272 pupils in the upper primary school, class 6, 7 and 8. Data were collected using questionnaires. Data analysis was done using descriptive statistics, including percentages, means, frequency and tables. The findings revealed that fifty-two percent (52%) of the respondents strongly disagreed that pastoral instruction has overcrowded the timetable. The study concludes that teachers' working conditions needed a boost by providing them with incentives to improve their morale. There is also a need to recognize and appreciate the efforts of teachers by rewarding them. The study recommends that: there is a need for teachers to undergo training. This is based on the fact that teachers who have adequate training on instructional resource use influence preschool learners' achievement in both examinable subjects as well as non-examinable ones.
