Abstract

Primary education lays the foundation for a nation's development, fostering patriotism, fairness, and national unity
among children aged 6 to 12. However, challenges such as inadequate funding, ineffective management, and low
academic performance persist in Katsina Education Zone, Nigeria. This study investigates the impact of Donor
Organizations, including UNICEF, UNESCO, and the World Bank, on the provision of training and retraining for
public primary school teachers in Katsina Education Zone. Through a descriptive survey research design, data were
collected from 362 respondents, including teachers, administrators, and PTA officials. Findings indicate a positive
perception of Donor Organizations' impact on teacher training, with mean scores above the decision mean. Statistical
analysis revealed no significant difference in opinions across respondent groups. These findings underscore the
importance of external support in addressing educational challenges and suggest decentralization of training
selection processes for improved effectiveness.
