The intent of the study was to learn the supervision and implementation of Home Economics and Hospitality (HEH) in the Revised Curriculum on the learners at secondary school level. The objectives were to assess the suitability of the available facilities and teaching and learning resources used in the implementation of home economics and hospitality in the revised curriculum, to establish the attitude of HEH teachers towards the implementation of home economics and hospitality in the revised curriculum, to find out the frequencies of supervising teachers in the implementation of home economics and hospitality in the revised curriculum, and to analyze the challenges home economics and hospitality teachers are facing in the implementation of the revised curriculum. The focus was on six selected government secondary schools where Home Economics and Hospitality in the Revised Curriculum was being implemented. The information in the research was gathered through purposive sampling in six selected government secondary schools of Solwezi District. The instruments used to collect the raw data were the questionnaires, oral interviews and observations. In order to investigate the supervision and implementation of Home Economics and Hospitality in the Revised Curriculum, the data was processed by compiling the responses to questionnaires, oral interviews and the observations made, comparing them and examining how Home Economics and Hospitality is being implemented in the Revised Curriculum. The data analysis was mainly qualitative, as the study employed mainly a case study because it described and examined the supervision and implementation of home economics and hospitality in the revised curriculum. The study revealed that the supervision and implementation of home economics in selected government secondary schools in Solwezi District was not being adequately supervised and implemented effectively due to many challenges being faced by the supervisors and implementers. The study recommended that the Government through the Ministry of General Education (MoGE) should see to it that teachers and supervisors who are the implementers of the revised curriculum are provided with adequate and appropriate teaching and learning materials to use during workshops and supervision.
