This study sought to establish strategies used in mobilizing physical resource through the mixed research approach under which convergent parallel design was used. The study was conducted across 26 public secondary schools in Kilolo District with 662 teachers, 26 heads of schools and one District Education Officer (DEO). Five heads of schools and the DEO were purposively selected to take part in the interview while 81 teachers were randomly selected to take part in the study through the questionnaire. Quantitative data was analysed using descriptive statistics with the help of the SPSS while qualitative data was analysed thematically. The study established that the most used strategy in mobilizing resources was funds from income generation activities followed by involvement of the community in construction of school buildings, purchase of desks and repair of broken furniture. Since physical resources are one of most important tools for curriculum implementation, the study recommends that the use of different strategies to mobilize physical resources should be considered by schools under investigation.
