The impact of the cluster based mentoring system on the performance of teachers is the central theme of the research. For this study a sample of 30 officers, 60 head teachers and 500 teachers were randomly selected. The primary data were collected from officers, head teachers and teachers through survey method, questionnaire and observation tools, while the literature was reviewed for the collection of secondary data. It was found that there is a significant impact of cluster based mentoring on the performance of primary school teachers. Cluster based mentoring has modified and brought positive changes in the attitude, skills and teaching methods of primary teachers. It has enhanced the learning of students. A significant difference between cluster based mentoring trained and untrained primary school teachers was observed. The performance of trained teachers was better than untrained teachers. No significant difference between male and female or rural and urban area cluster based mentoring trained primary school teachers was observed. The problems faced by teacher under cluster based mentoring program were relating to lack of planning, no advance announcement of complete schedule of cluster based mentoring workshops and the prevailing uncertainty.
