Lack of qualified teachers is a cause of concern

The impact of unqualified teachers on students' academic performance is evident, with under-performance and difficulties in meeting academic performance of students.

Effective teaching is enhanced by well-trained and qualified teachers.  It's seen that most of the teachers and govt employees lack skills and their written expertise is unsatisfactory ranging from poor grammar to syntax.
