The findings by inferential statistics indicated that there is no difference between teachers’ gender, and their effectiveness, no difference between teachers’ marital status and their effectiveness. Negative difference between teachers’ ages and their effectiveness and significant difference between teachers’ number of year of teaching experience and their effectiveness. There is a difference between different schools in Kole and their teacher’s effectiveness. It was generally concluded that there is weak difference between teachers’ demographic characteristic and their effectiveness.
