In Namibia, almost one out of every three children under the age of five is undernourished while one out of every 20 is obese. Thus, the concerns are nature and quality of Grade 2 scholars’ routine diet; ability for sustained attention within a classroom setting should their routine diet fail to adequately provide sustained glucose and scholastic performance that may result from attention deficits due to presumed poor quality of routine diet. The purpose of this study was to determine and describe the link between routine diets, capacity for sustained attention span and scholastic performance among Grade 2 scholars in circuit one in Khomas region. The sample d population consisted of fifty seven (57) grade 2 scholars aged between 7-9 years from both Prim ary schools.
