Journal Title: American Journal of Arts and Human Science (AJAHS) - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
The education sector, in general, faces challenges that suffer quite a lot in terms of quality of education services, curriculum, teacher motivation, and government role that influences school performance and student achievement. One important factor that influences school performance is how teachers get incentives, which makes them motivated and satisfied with their jobs and organization. Performance-based incentives for teachers have considerably attracted attention as a policy tool to improve student outcomes. Education departments intend to allocate large amounts of money as incentives for the teachers based on their performance. This paper evaluates the influence of teacher incentives on student achievement in public secondary schools. Specifically, the study examines the influence of monetary incentives for teachers on student academic achievement in public secondary schools. In addition, it establishes the effect of tangible non-monetary incentives for teachers on student academic achievement in public secondary schools. Moreover, it investigates the influence of intangible non-monetary incentives for teachers on student academic achievement in public secondary schools. The study will revise past literature related to this research topic to obtain all information necessary for the research. The researcher will gather findings and results obtained by the former authors, which are related to the main purpose and objectives of the study. Based on the literature reviewed by the researcher, the study expects that individual incentives will have more effect on the student’s achievements. Literature also shows that merit pay systems have very little influence on student achievement. Lastly, the teacher’s monetary incentives are a function of students’ achievements in their final year of high school.
