Abstract
This study examines teacher qualification as a determinant of students’ academic achievement in O level English in Oyo metropolis. Multistage sampling approach was used in the selection of the respondents. Stratified sampling technique was used to select four secondary schools from each of the four local governments in Oyo metropolis; however, due to relative number of teachers with NCE and First Degree Certificate, proportional sampling technique was also adopted. Purposive sampling technique was used to select five schools where the teachers’ highest qualification is NCE and five schools were the teachers highest qualification is first degree. Randomly Sampling technique was used to select fifty (50) students from each of the ten schools making total number of five hundred 500 respondents in all. Fifty (50) multiple choice test items were used to test the students achievement in O level English based on WAEC syllabus. The students scripts were marked, scored and interpreted. Percentage was used to determine the students’ achievement. The result shows that there is a difference in the achievement of students in O level English with students taught by holders of degree certificate performing better. It was therefore recommended that NCE teachers should go for their degree programmes and degree holders should also cultivate the habit of attending seminars, conferences and workshop programmes to improve the general performance of students in O level English in the metropolis.
