Abstract

This paper examined the relationship between academic qualifications and job effectiveness of teachers in public secondary schools in Edo State. Two research questions were raised and one hypothesis was formulated and tested in the study. The purpose of this study was specifically to determine the qualifications of teachers and find out if there is a relationship between teachers’ academic qualifications and their job effectiveness. The correlational research design was employed to carry out the study. The population of this study consisted of the 2994 teachers in the 298 public senior secondary schools in Edo State. Using the multistage sampling technique, a sample of 299 teachers was drawn from 90 schools who responded to the instrument used for the study. It was found that the qualifications of teachers in Edo State are high; and there is a significant relationship between teachers’ qualifications and their job effectiveness. It was recommended that a scholarship scheme be put in place for exceptionally intelligent teachers to enhance their academic qualifications, among others.
