Various factors influence the effectiveness of the teaching-learning process, including teaching skills, instructional strategies, standards for curriculum, and the physical classroom environment. Kimaro (2020), claims that positive and negative physical environments affect students' educational progress and experiences. The study was conducted to explore the impact of the physical environment of Non-Formal Basic Education (NFBE) schools on students' educational experiences and their future educational choices. The sample of this phenomenological study was purposively selected from four districts of the Lahore Division (Sheikhpura, Nankana, Lahore, and Kusur). A self-developed semi-structured interview protocol was used to collect in-depth qualitative data. The thematic analysis technique was used to analyze the data. The findings revealed a lack of educational resources such as proper blackboards, copies, stationery, books, etc. These schools also lack basic facilities such as desks, proper sitting arrangements for students, space, noise, proper ventilation, separate washrooms for boys and girls, clean drinking water, etc. The findings also revealed that a poor physical environment impacts negatively on students' learning. However, the findings showed that teachers' motivational and positive behavior help students to continue and make progress in their studies. The study's findings will be helpful for the Ministry of Literacy and Non-formal Basic Education (LNFBE), planners, and policymakers in developing plans and initiatives to improve the physical environment of NFBE schools in Punjab, enhancing the positive educational experiences of students.
