This study investigated the availability and adequacy of teaching and learning materials,
administrative problems and qualifications of teachers relative to their teaching effectiveness in junior
secondary schools in Bo city, Southern Sierra Leone. The design of the study was a descriptive survey. The
major findings and conclusion were that the junior secondary schools have trained and qualified teachers. The
majority of the schools were over crowded with pupils in poorly ventilated classrooms. Three- fourths of the
schools did not have science and computer laboratories, libraries, home economics facilities and generally the
schools did not have appropriate toilet facilities. The difficult and bureaucratic processes involved in the
recruitment of teachers were found to be responsible for the late payment of salaries for newly employed
teachers. Teaching and learning materials were grossly inadequate in all the schools studied in the Bo city.
Key words: Bo city, challenges, educational delivery, junior secondary, post war, schools, Southern Sierra Leone
