ABSTRACT
This study assessed the influence of teacher gender on the attitude of primary school pupils to schooling in Uyo Metropolis. Four research questions and four hypotheses were generated to direct the conduct of the study. A sample of 400 pupils was drawn from a population of 1400 primary five pupils using the multistage random sampling technique. The ex-post-facto research design was adopted for the study and the research instrument used was the Pupil鈥檚 Attitude to Schooling Questionnaire (PASQ) designed by the researchers. The results showed that teacher gender has significant influence on the attitude of pupils to schooling. On the basis of the results, recommendations were made with emphasis on training and employing more males as primary school teachers to counter the current gender imbalance in the profession.
