The Availability of Teaching Materials alone in Tropical African Government-Aided Primary Schools has not Yet Facilitated Teacher Instructional Effectiveness
North of the Tropic of Capricorn and South of the Tropic of Cancer are the countries geographically known as the countries within the tropics. There are such countries in South America, Africa and Asia too. Those of Africa include: Ghana, Chad, Central African Republic, South Sudan, Eretria, Malawi, Zambia, Tanzania, Zimbabwe and Uganda to mention a few. These countries visualize their development strategies through instituting strong education systems like it was with the already developed countries of the world (Nyenje, J. (2017). It’s believed that all countries’ education systems are based on primary education. Further to this, the strength of a country’s social- economic status explains how strong its primary education base is and therefore teacher instructional effectiveness is pivotal. Worldwide, it is believed also that Several factors like quality of teacher training, experience of teacher, teacher knowledge and collaboration, support supervision, attitude of teacher towards work and the environment in which work is conducted contribute to teacher instructional effectiveness (Lockeed & Vespoor, 1991).
