Abstract: The productivity of primary school teachers is increasingly questionable, while head teachers seem helpless in the face of the situation. While seeking to improve the teachers’ productivity, one wonders if the school’s host community has no role to play. This study investigated the relationship between the host community’s interaction with the school and the teachers’ productivity in primary schools in Enugu state. The study adopted a correlational research design. The population of the study comprised all the head teachers in the public primary schools in Enugu state. The study’s sample sizetudy’s sample size was 84 headteachers, representing 20% of the population. Random sampling procedure was used to draw the sample. Data was collected using a researcher made structured instrument titled “School-Community Collaboration and Teachers’ Productivity Questionnaire†(SCTPQ). The instrument was validated by three experts and trial tested. An internal consistency reliability index of 0.76 was obtained using Cronbach alpha method. Simple linear regression analysis was utilized in analyzing the data collected. The study’s findings revealed a positive relationship between school-community collaboration and teachers’ productivity. The recommendation therefore, is that headteachers should maintain mutual and cordial collaboration with the schools’ host community.
