Abstract	The main purpose of the study is to examine teachers’ age and gender in relation to their job commitment and academic achievement of secondary school students in Rivers State. A research question and a hypothesis guided the study. The research design adopted was the descriptive survey design. The population size was one hundred and fifteen thousand, nine hundred and forty three (115,943) students, drawn from the twenty three local government areas in Rivers State. A sample size of three hundred and ninety nine (399) senior secondary students was drawn from the population. Data collected for this study was collected manually and fully analyzed using mean score and Pearson product moment correlation analyses. The mean score analysis was used to answer the research questions while the Pearson product moment correlation analysis was equally used in the testing of hypotheses at a significance level of 0.05. The results of the study were presented in tables. The analysis was also presented in tables based on the research questions posed. Significant differences were found when teacher’s chronological age and gender and academic achievement of secondary school students were compared. It was recommended that teachers need to be encouraged by way of increasing their salaries to boost their self-esteem so that they can be committed to do their jobs.
