This study investigated the relationship between teachers’ qualifications and
their performance in Buyanja sub-county primary schools, Rukungiri
district, Uganda. The study adopted a cross-sectional research design on a
sample of 190 respondents. Data was collected using a self-administered
questionnaire, an interview guide, and an observation checklist.
Quantitative data were analysed using descriptive statistics that were
frequencies, percentages and means, and inferential statistics, then
correlation and regression. The study found that there was a moderate
positive relationship between teachers’ qualifications and teaching staff
performance in primary schools in Buyanja Sub-County Rukungiri. It was
recommended that the school managers and administrators should always
deploy the teachers depending on the level of performance rather than the
level of qualification.
