4.3.3 Interviews with individual teachers (urban)Altogether 12 teachers participated in interviews as individuals. Each school was represented by two teachers. The teachers were deliberately selected to accommodate the teachers who did not participate in the focus groups. The researcher tried to consider gender balance but in some schools it became difficult because there was a high population of female teachers. The analysis of Table 4.5 below revealed that 8 teachers were female while 4 were male. The teachers’ ages ranged from 35 to 55 years while the teaching experience ranged from 11 to 25 years. Of all the participating teachers, 3 taught one subject at Grades 3-7, 4-7 and 5-7 respectively, while the rest taught between 10 and 11 subjects at Grades 3-7. The analysis also revealed that all the participating teachers had ‘O’ level. Of the 12 participating teachers, 8 had either a C.E. or DipEd while 4 had degrees. A range of 53 to 600 pupils were taught by specialist teachers; while the number of pupils per class ranged from 42 to 50. Basing on their maturity, work experience and academic qualifications, the teachers appeared to be well versed with assessment problems in the primary schools Table 4.5 Profiles of urban primary school teachers in the individual interviews
