Abstract	This study attempted to examine the practice of teacher management wjth a view to identify the push and pull factors that would encourage teachers either to leave or stay in the school. To this end, descriptive survey method was emplqyed. The subjects of the study were 16 teachers and 6 members of the school management committee. Information was solicited from the sample respondents through two types of questionnaires. The results of the study revealed that the push factors (lowsalary, absence of career promotion, harsh disciplinary penalties, and job insecurity) outweighed the pull factors (reasonable work load, the school's willingness to cover teachers' training cost, and the provision of merit certificate with bonuses). Hence, it was recommended that the school should take necessary measures tO,strengthen the pull factors and minimize . the push factors so as to retain the existing staff as well as to attract competent teachers from the labor market.
