The study aimed to determine the existing traits and abilities of the instructors, the performance of the students, and the significant relationship between the teaching qualities and students’ performance. Further, the implication of the teaching qualities of the instructors on the students’ performance and progress was explored. Using mean, weighted mean, percentage and coefficient of correlation, data from student opinion survey and interview were analysed. Findings reveal that for all the 10 teaching qualities measured, the instructors were described as very satisfactory. On academic activities students obtained average level of performance while for extra/co-curricular activities, they performed above average. The computed r is negative perfect correlation which means that the instructors may have high degree of professional, instructional and personal qualities and have students with failing grades and are idle or lethargic. Moreover, instructors with poor teaching qualities may have students with excellent grades and participates well in both academic and extra/co-curricular activities. This implies that instructors should stimulate students towards positive response on the discovery, analysis and synthesis of their daily experiences in school.
