The results show that (i) unit capital expenditure incurred has a positive and insignificant effect on the tap (ii) a 1% increase in unit wage expenditure incurred leads to a downward change in the tap of 1.983162% and (iii) budget instabilities negatively influence the tap by 0.055255%. These results imply that productivity should be the basis for teacher remuneration and educational performance is related to fiscal governance. The measurement of primary school teacher productivity remains a field of investigation.
