The study was conducted to determine the extent to which teacher professional qualification and teacher experience could influence school effectiveness. It was a descriptive survey. The study population comprised the 17public secondary schools in Ilorin South Local Government Area of Kwara State, Nigeria; out of which10 were selected using the random sampling technique. Also, 15 students were randomly selected from each of the sampled schools, making a total of 150 respondents. ‘Teacher Quality Questionnaire’ (TQQ) and ‘School Effectiveness Questionnaire’ (SEQ) were used to collect data. The instruments were validated and their reliability co-efficient, determined by the test-retest method, were 0.71 and 0.77 respectively. The data collected were analysed using the Pearson Product Moment Correlation statistic. The findings revealed that there was a significant relationship between teacher quality and school effectiveness (calculated r-value of .323 was greater than the critical r-value of .198 at the 0.05 level of significance). Also, there was a significant relationship between teacher professional qualification and school effectiveness, (calculated r-value of .306 was greater than the critical r-value of .198 at the 0.05 level of significance). These findings implied that high quality teachers were essential for a school to achieve its objectives. The paper therefore, recommended that ministries of education should intensify in-service training for teachers, and give attractive incentives to them so that they could stay long in their jobs and perform their duties effectively. penerbit ukm 2014 Article PeerReviewed application/pdf en http://journalarticle.ukm.my/8397/1/Chap9.pdf Fasasi, Yunus Adebunmi and Ojo, Olubukola James (2014) Teacher quality and secondary school effectiveness in Ilorin South Local Government Area, Kwara State, Nigeria.
