Effects of Unqualified Teachers on Students Academic Performance
This doesn’t only happen here but also in places like Sub-Saharan Africa.
This article discusses the impact of teachers on students. Schools and other academic institutions should consider abilities, education, and experience when hiring teachers. This could lead to abnormal disruption to school achievement, diligent and very low self-esteem, and low motivation for personal growth and development. Just like the reading states “the presence or absence of qualified teachers determines a student’s performance in school.” This article was chosen due to the author having a solution to this issue. Based on the reading, given the impact of unqualified teachers on students, school administrators should make certain that teachers meet the minimum qualifications enforced and are trained with the skills and educational strategies necessary to meet the needs of students. This reading shows the importance of being a qualified educator and how it not only helps the children but their families and communities too.

Just Say No to Unqualified Teachers
This article explains how school districts “should just say no” when it comes to hiring unqualified teachers in schools. In the article, it states “Policymakers and administrators might scoff at the idea that now is the time to focus on improving teacher quality.” This shows the reader that they don’t take this matter as seriously as it is.
- Some districts let large numbers of qualified teachers go through early retirement buy-out plans to reduce overall salary costs. These districts then hire less-experienced and even unqualified teachers.”Students are falling behind, stopping them from reaching their full potential. The objective of educators is to empower today’s youth through the impacts of instruction and grant them a chance for a brighter future. How effective are educators when this opportunity isn’t legitimately given?
The article states “students taught by unqualified teachers are punished for their lack of academic achievement. While the students may be held back, their teachers often move on to tenure.”Inappropriate instruction or unqualified teachers somehow blame the child. Let’s improve the system by helping those who are qualified and want the best for their children, not those who are truly untrained. This article was chosen to provide insight into how school districts are thinking and acting and to let readers know that change is happening. )
