Teaching is a very complex activity and multidimensional in nature.This paper deals with knowledge in theory, demanding teacher’s variety of skills and abilities to be displayed. As the skills and efficiency of the teacher largely influences the pupils learning, recruitment of efficient and skilled teacher in to the educational system becomes an essential pre requisite for improvement of the system. Therefore, it becomes primarily an obligation of education to obtain capable and efficient teachers as learning by pupils depends very much upon the skill and potentiality of the teacher, how he exploits potentialities of his pupils to acquire knowledge and skill. While selecting the teachers the qualities and characteristics that are considered to be potential factors for teaching efficiency are to be taken into account. Keeping in this view, the present study aimed to explore the gender variation, educational qualification and place of habitation variations in the teaching efficiency of secondary school teachers. To ascertain teaching efficiency of secondary school teachers the study was conducted on a sample of 150 Secondary School Teachers from Malda District, West Bengal .Teaching Efficiency Inventory developed by Dr. A.S.Patel was used for data collection. The variables like age, experiences etc. were considered in this study. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as Mean, S.D. and t-test. The main finding indicates that there was a significant difference between PGT and TGT teachers of their efficiency.
