Abstract
This study investigated class teachers’ Continuous Assessment scores input into Primary Six Leaving Certificate in Akoko South-West Local Government Area in Ondo state, Nigeria. Using descriptive survey, an instrument, ‘’Class teachers’ Primary Six Leaving Certificate Continuous Assessment Scores Input’’ and structured interview was used to collect data from 250 respondents and data collected were analyzed using descriptive statistics. The findings revealed that class teachers’ CA procedures were systematic but lacked comprehensiveness and cumulativeness; and summation of scores sent by class teachers to Ministry Of Education used in processing Primary Six Leaving Certificates issued to pupils by Head teachers was manufactured. It is recommended that class teachers and Head teachers as implementers of CA programme in schools be given continuous orientation and re-orientation on correct practices of CA, and be timely supplied with instruments required to garner data on the cognitive, affective and psychomotor domains of pupils including lockable iron shelves for safe keeping and easy retrieval of data.
