  • Weak due to low morale of teachers over low Salary
  • Lack of effective teacher supervision by Head Teachers
  • Lack of routine inspection. This is attributed to inadequate transport means for School inspectors
  • Lack of self-Motivated Teachers and learners
  • Misconception of Universalization concept (Free education) by Parents and guardians
