The findings indicate that there was a shortage of teachers to support teaching and learning. It also reveals that most teachers had retired from the teaching profession and that no recruitment had taken place to replace them for the previous seven years, meaning that most schools had to rely on BESDA and N-Power staff to teach, they also stressed that teachers must meet the minimal qualifications in order to ensure that teachers facilitate the attainment of Basic Education in Dambatta and Rimin Gado LGEAs of Kano State. The paper reveals that a teacher may work for nine to ten years without receiving a promotion and that they do not receive an annual increment generally has an impact on teaches and the way that basic education is delivered from the perspectives of enrollment, retention, completion, and pupil’s transition. However, the study recommends that Government should employ qualified teachers with requisite teaching requirement, this will support teaching and learning and assist the government in resolving the workforce issue.
