Abstract

Teachers’ availability (demand and supply) in quantity and quality determine effectiveness in upper basic schools in term of academic performance. Despite various measures taken by the government in the past to supply more qualified teachers, there is a gap in the demand and supply of qualified teachers and this hinders academic performance of upper basic schools. This study investigated teacher demand projection and students’ academic performance of upper basic school in Zamfara State, Nigeria. The objectives of the study were toexamine the teacher demand in terms of prescribed teacher-students ratio of 1:40; determine the gap between teacher demand and teacher supply; investigate the trend of students’ academic performance from 2011-2015; and determine the projection of teacher demand in upper basic schools in Zamfara State, Nigeria (2018 - 2028). A descriptive research design of survey type was employed for the study. A sample of 513 out of 1,526 principals and Zamfara State Ministry of Education, Nigeria was selected through purposive sampling technique. Two researcher designed instruments entitled “Teacher Demand and School Enrolment Inventory” (TDSEI) were validated by five experts in the area of Educational Management and Educational Research, Measurement and Evaluation. The findings of the study were that: upper basic schools in Zamfara State, Nigeria was adequately staffed with 11,245 teachers between 2013 and 2017 academic sessions; there was a close gap between teacher demand and supply in Zamfara State upper basic schools. There was a positive margin of 1,857 teachers in terms of ratio 1:40 benchmark; while the projected teacher demand in Zamfara State, Nigeria would be 27,281 teachers between 2018 and 2027 in her upper basic schools. The study concluded that there was adequate supply to teacher demand but may not necessarily be in core subject areas. The study recommended that by the year 2027, 27, 281 more teachers should be supplied into upper basic schools by the government.
