Abstract

The effective management of teachers is an important contributor to the successful delivery of primary education. This paper reports on a qualitative research project conducted in Nigeria’s Kaduna and Katsina States. Four aspects of teacher management were studied: recruitment and deployment; pay and remuneration; training and support; and aspirations and expectations. Analysis of the data highlights the need for greater transparency in all aspects of teacher management and the paper concludes with a suggested framework for enhancing the management of primary school teachers that is specific to Nigeria but relevant to other countries in the Global South.
