Abstract:
The study aimed to identify the effects of teaching and learning conditions on educational outcomes in the La Nkwantanang Municipality. The data sets of the sixth round of the Ghana Living Standards Survey (GLSS 6) and the Education Management Information Systems (EMIS) together with the qualitative data obtained through field interviews were employed to address the research questions. An unstructured interview guide was mainly used for the collection of the qualitative data from 30 purposively selected respondents. The study revealed that teachers are more committed to their work when working conditions are better, which invariably translates into improved students‘ performance. Based on this finding, a suggestion was made for the Ghana Education Service to improve the general working conditions of teachers in order to enhance efficiency.
