Abstract

The level of teacher’s turnover, particularly at the primary school level, has reached an alarming rate, where teachers are massively leaving their teaching jobs to other organizations. This study assessed the extent in which training of teachers influenced turnover in Dawakinkudu Local Government Education Authorities of Kano State from 2011-2018. The mixed methods were adopted for the collection of data for this study. The instruments used for primary data were the administration of questionnaire and interview. 297 respondents from the questionnaires werefound valid, 13 management staff were interviewed in the study as well as 3 teachers. The secondary sources of data used include publications such as annual reports, journals, textbooks, circulars, and unpublished dissertations as well as data from internet. Both descriptive and inferential statistical tools were used in presenting and analyzing data. Simple linear regression was used to test the hypothesis. The study found out that there is no significant relationship between training and teacher turnover. The study therefore recommend that other issues such as releasing studies, should be strictly relevant to the teaching areas in primary schools as well as bond must be signed by the releasing teacher to spend at least the years he spent in his study before leaving primary teaching.
