Teachers performance was in the moderate range (M=2.81) and student achievement stayed low, even though pass rates did improve a little, moving from 7% to 12.58%. When correlation was checked, it showed strong positive connections between supervision, performance and achievement, with r=.898, r=.678 and r=.565, and p<.01.Regression findings then showed that supervision and teachers performance significantly predicted achievement, giving R²=95% almost all 100% Teacher’s performance seems to have a more noticeable impact.
