Specifically, the study determined the influence of teaching qualification, years of teaching experience, areas of specialization and gender on teachers’ effectiveness. The population of the study was 3,410 Upper basic teachers in the 84 schools in the district out of which 300 teachers were randomly drawn from 30 schools as the sample for the study. A questionnaire titled My Teacher Effectiveness Inventory (MTEI) was used to collect data about the teachers’ effectiveness from their students. The collected data were analyzed with percentage and chi squares. The findings showed that teachers in Basic Schools possess the minimum teaching qualification.
