This study investigated the influence of teachers’ qualification in the teaching of technical drawing in technical colleges in Edo and Delta States of Nigeria. One hypothesis was formulated to guide the study: there is no significant difference in teachers’ effectiveness between teachers with B. Sc. (Ed) qualification and NCE (Tech.) qualification in the teaching of technical drawing in technical colleges. The study adopted a quantitative descriptive cross-sectional survey research design. Data analysed in this study were the responses of thirty-five (35) technical drawing teachers across ten (10) technical colleges. The selection was done using total sampling technique. T-test was the statistical tool employed to test the hypothesis at 0.05 level of significance. The result of the analysis revealed that teachers with B.Sc. (Ed) qualification have more influence on the students’ academic performance when compared with their counterparts who possess NCE (Tech.) qualifications.
