Abstract:
The shortage of qualified mathematics teachers in senior secondary schools is a critical issue that hampers the quality of education, particularly in the field of mathematics. This study aims to assess the causes and coping strategies of the shortage of mathematics teachers in senior secondary schools in Sokoto Metropolis.

The research adopts a mixed-methods approach, combining qualitative and quantitative data collection techniques. A questionnaire survey will be administered to senior secondary school mathematics teachers, principals, and education administrators to gather quantitative data on the causes and extent of the shortage. Additionally, in-depth interviews and focus group discussions will be conducted to obtain qualitative insights into the coping strategies employed by schools and education authorities.

Findings from the study will contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the causes of the shortage of mathematics teachers in Sokoto Metropolis. Potential causes may include low remuneration, limited career progression opportunities, inadequate teacher training programs, and a negative perception of mathematics teaching as a profession. The study will also explore coping strategies implemented by schools, such as hiring temporary or underqualified teachers, redistributing teaching loads among existing staff, and leveraging technology to supplement teaching.

The research aims to provide valuable recommendations for policymakers, educational institutions, and relevant stakeholders to address the shortage of mathematics teachers effectively. This may involve improving teacher remuneration, enhancing professional development opportunities, and promoting the teaching profession as an attractive career choice. Furthermore, the study will explore the potential of collaborative efforts between schools, universities, and government agencies to bridge the gap in mathematics education.

By shedding light on the causes and coping strategies of the shortage of mathematics teachers, this study will contribute to the existing body of knowledge on teacher shortages in the education sector. The findings will serve as a basis for policy formulation and implementation, with the ultimate goal of improving mathematics education in senior secondary schools in Sokoto Metropolis and beyond.
