    The study was carried out to determine the relationship that exists between school population and teachers’ effectiveness in Kwara State Public Basic Schools in Nigeria. School population was examined in terms of small and large schools, while teacher effectiveness was examined through effective lesson delivery, effective classroom management and students’ academic performance as in junior secondary school examinations. A descriptive research design of correlational type was used in the study. Four hundred and twenty five teachers were randomly selected as sample in the study. Two instruments titled:“School Population and Teachers’ Effectiveness Questionnaire”(SPTEQ) and “Students’ Academic Performance Proforma”(SAPP) were used to obtain relevant data. Four research hypotheses were formulated in the study and tested using Pearson productmoment correlation statistics at 0.05 level of significance. The finding revealed that there was a positive significant relationship between school population and teachers’ effectiveness in Kwara State public basic schools. It was recommended, among others, that educational planners, administrators and evaluators should supervise, monitor and co-ordinate the activities of the school heads, teachers and students in order to bring about teachers’ effectiveness.
