In particular, the study determined the difficulty of staff development, how it affects students' academic achievement, and strategies for enhancing staff development in primary schools. A cross-sectional survey research design was employed in the study to gather data using both qualitative and quantitative methods. A total of 400 respondents were included in the sample size and were chosen at random from the entire population. A large number of teachers are also enrolled in staff development programs, such as in-service grade III teacher training courses, grade V upgrade courses, degree programs, and CPD courses (CPDs). Only 3.62 percent of the people who passed their staff exams had no education, compared to around 96.38 percent of those who passed their school exams. Since the P-value (0.000) 0.05, this is statically important, indicating that there is a meaningful link between employee training and students' academic success.
