The subjects of the investigation were 8 principals and 72 teachers drawn from the sample schools. The information's were gathered through a survey questionnaire and analysed using mean score and percentage. Thus the findings of the study proved that formative purposes were the principal purposes the criteria were found to be inadequate and inappropriate; incompetent appraisers were assigned to judge teachers' performance; and inadequate information's were used.
