Abstract


This study examined the relationship between teachers’ quality and students’ academic performance in senior secondary schools in Maiduguri Metropolis. A correlational design was used. The total population of the study was 1236 respondents out of which 371 respondents were sampled through simple random sampling. SSCE results for five consecutive years (2014-2018 academic session) were obtained from the selected schools as the data for the study. The study employed inferential statistics (Person product-moment correlation coefficient) to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The result was presented in the table and discussed according to the objective and hypothesis. The study revealed a significant relationship between teachers’ qualification (r=0.672, p=0.004) and students’ academic performance in senior secondary schools in Maiduguri metropolis. Hence, the following recommendation was made; school administrators should organize workshops and seminars to re-train teachers on the proper implementation of the curriculum in senior secondary schools in Borno State.
