Professional training of teachers and academic performance of students in evening schools
Abstract
This study aimed at investigating the effect of professional training of teachers on the
academic performance of students in evening schools. The working hypothesis which guided
this study read thus; “the quality of the professional training of teachers influences the
academic performance of students in evening schools”. The survey design was used in this
study. As a result, 64 teachers were randomly selected from three Anglophone evening
schools in Yaoundé to form the sample. The statistical tool that was used to verify the
hypotheses was the chi-square. The results confirmed that there is a significant relationship
between the level of a teacher’s training and the academic performance of students in
evening schools. Based on these findings, some suggestions were made to holders of the
education community in order to increase the professional competences of evening school
teachers.
