The expectation of the Ministry of Education as the sole employer for teachers, is for every Primary School Teacher in Fiji, to teach all subjects that are prescribed by the ministry with the necessary teacher qualification. Hence MOE’s goal is always on quality education whereby teachers are required to bring about positive learning outcomes through effective teaching and this requires teachers’ positive attitude, yet it is least considered in the selection criteria for teacher employment, thus becomes the researcher’s core objective of the study. The study engrosses descriptive survey with the engagement of Stratified Random Sampling technique with the sample size of 363 Primary School Teachers, from each stratum covering the four major Divisions; Northern, Central, Western and Eastern and uses a Rating Scale namely of; Modified Version of Attitude Towards Mathematics Inventory by Moreira C.M.(1992) to find out the perceptions of teachers’ attitude towards Mathematics with respect to teacher qualification and analysis of Variance(ANOVA) is used to analyse the data quantitatively. The relevance of the study is to allow the Ministry of Education in Fiji, to assist teachers with moderate attitude towards mathematics to improve its status quo, which would lead to more effective teaching of mathematics thus result to better performance of primary school students. The findings of the study are discussed in detail in the paper.
