Work Environment and Productivity among Primary School Teachers in Nigeria

Abstract

This paper examined the influence of work environment on teachers’
productivity in Primary schools in Nigeria. Since primary education is
the starting point for the citizen’s general development and also the
basic foundation for subsequent levels of education, a lot is expected
from the teacher. Every education system depends heavily on the quality
and productivity of its teachers for improving and maintaining standards
and quality. This paper tried to identify and establish the relationship
between work environment and the Nigeria primary school teachers’
productivity. Recommendations were made for the improvement of the
work environment of Nigeria primary school teachers to greater
productivity towards the attainment of the objectives of primary
education.
