This study has also examined the relationship between Teachers’ Interactive Variables such as interest, qualification, attitude, experience and self-efficacy on students’ academic achievement in Islamic Studies of Senior Secondary School in Kaduna state.

The interest, attitude and qualification of Islamic Studies teachers play a vital role in any learning process. The implementation of any curriculum depends on societal needs and availability of teaching personnel and their willingness to impact the desired knowledge to learners.

The study recommended that it is high time for Islamic studies teachers to further their education and to have positive changes in their attitude towards the teaching of the subject so that the achievement of Islamic studies goals will not be hindered. Furthermore, the stakeholders of Secondary School education are called upon to ensure that only teachers who are qualified and have interest to teach the subject are employed.
