THE EFFECTS OF QUALIFICATION OF SOCIAL STUDIES EDUCATION TEACHERS ON THE PERFORMANCE OF SECONDARY SCHOOL STUDENTS IN EXTERNAL EXAMINATIONS (A CASE STUDY OF SELECTED SCHOOLS IN NSUKKA LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA)

ABSTRACT
The study was designed to find out if the qualification of the social studies education teachers has direct or indirect bearing on the performance of the students in social studies education. The topic was built on the assumption, apparently shared by most people especially our educational policy makers, that any fluent speaker or native speaker of social studies education automatically becomes an effective social studies education teacher. Three secondary schools within Nsukka were selected for the study. Questionnaires were distributed to the students, teachers and principals in the selected schools. The responses were analyzed using simple statistical methods. The study found out that teachers qualifications do affect students performance. Recommendations were made on how to improve on the quality of teachers already in the classroom.
