Factors Influence Female Teachers' Academic Competencies at the Secondary School Level

Abstract

    The research focuses on how many factors influence the academic competencies of female secondary school educators. The study set out to accomplish the research objective of identifying the factors that affect the competencies of female secondary school teachers. The study employed a descriptive research strategy. All female secondary school teachers in Central Punjab were included in the study population. Two hundred fifty female secondary school educators participated in the study. In order to get representative data from participants, the researchers used a random sampling method. In order to gather information from a research sample, a questionnaire was designed. Most study participants (93.6%) agreed that girls' schools impact female educators' abilities. Researchers found that all three contextual factors significantly affected how well women performed as secondary school educators.
