Based on the analysis and statistical treatment applied to the data gathered the following findings are summarized. There were 22 female science teachers. Most of their age ranged from 31 to 36 years old. Their monthly income amounted to 21,000 to 30,000. There were 14 science teachers who have pursued graduate studies. They were all provided with seminar and trainings inside and outside of the schools.
