Questionnaires and interview used for collecting data. The questionnaires piloted and checked for their
reliability (Cronbach's alpha 0.892). The data obtained through the questionnaires analyzed using
frequency, percentages, mean, and correlation determining the relation of the status and causal factors
of teacher turnover. The information obtained through open-ended questions and the interviews were
qualitatively analyzed to supplement the quantitative data. The findings revealed that the status of
teacher turnover is very high. Teacher's turnover has high correlation with teachers' related factors
(738, P > 0.05) than institutional factors (573, P> 0.05). Measures like adequate relative salaries and
higher salaries for better-performing teachers (92.6% & 95% respectively) and need highest attention in
