Abstract :
This research aims to explore the influence of teachers` qualifications on students` academic performance in the field of mathematics, with a specific focus on the educational scenario in the Kumbotso Local Government Area of Kano State. Acknowledging the crucial role educators play in shaping students` academic outcomes, this study intends to uncover the relationship between teacher qualifications and the mathematical achievements of students. Employing a case study methodology, the research utilizes data gathered from schools within the Kumbotso Local Government Area. It involves a thorough examination of factors such as teachers` educational background, certifications, and teaching experience, correlating these elements with the academic success of their students. Through this analysis, the study aims to provide insights into the impact of teachers` qualifications on the quality of mathematics education in the region. The anticipated findings of this study are expected to offer valuable information for educational policymakers, administrators, and educators, assisting them in making informed decisions regarding teacher qualifications and professional development to enhance overall academic performance in mathematics within the Local Government Area.
