Abstract

This study investigated the effects of shortage of trained teachers on the provision of education in basic schools. The study was done in Livingstone and Kazungula Districts of Southern Provision. Livingstone District represented the urban environment, while Kazungula District represented the rural set up. The two districts were chosen on account of their proximity to the researcher's work place, meaning that this would cut down on travel expenses. The two districts were sampled to allow for comparison on the degree of the effects of shortage of trained teachers between rural and urban basic schools. Objectives of the study were twofold; to assess the effects of shortage of trained teachers on the provision of education in basic schools; and to find out respondents' views on government's position to scale down on employment of trained basic school teachers since 200 I. In line with its objectives, the study tried to answer these questions: what were the perceived effects of shortage of trained teachers on the provision of education?; and how did respondents in the study perceive shortage of trained teachers in basic schools? The study had 206 respondents divided into four groups. These were education managers or administrators, community leaders, class teachers and unions. These were Basic Education Teacher's Union of Zambia (BETUZ) and Zambia National Union of Teachers (ZNUT).
