ABSTRACT
This project work investigated the economic instability as a determinant of senior of secondary school teachers’ productivity in Ilorin, Kwara State. The total of two hundred (200) respondents were randomly selected. A structure questionnaire was used to collect data from the respondents. The frequency and percentage was used to analyse the socio-demographic data of the teachers and t-test as well as analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to test the hypotheses. The findings of the study revealed that economic instability has led to fluctuation in the macro economic variables whereby the majority of senior secondary school teachers had negative impact on their productivity. It also revealed that there is significant difference in influence of economic instability on male and female teachers’ productivity because male teachers felt the impact on their productivity than their female counterparts in terms of provision of all the essential needs for the family. All these and many more deprived most teachers of having enough time to prepare for class teaching.
