This study was conducted to understand the factors affecting the implementation of LINUS Numeracy program for hard-core students in three schools in the Kinta Utara District, Ipoh, Perak. This study used a purpose sampling method in selecting teachers as participants. Interviews, observations and review of documents ware used to gather information. The data was analysed using content analysis and constant comparative method. The findings showed that the hard-core students have attendance problem, lack of focus during the learning process, health and learning problems, not giving response when questions are asked by the teacher, have no interest in learning and have family problems. All of these problems will implicate the performance of LINUS in the school, state and the ministry particularly if they are not controlled earlier. Various parties need to play their roles in ensuring the performance of LINUS results is at a commendable level. There are several programs to attract students and able to increase their achievement for example is extra classes, Numeracy Camps, Out Reach Program, Token Economy and Mentor-mentee.
