This study attempted to determine the correlation between educational qualification and instructional competence of elementary grade teachers in Zumarraga-Talalora District. This study used analytical-descriptive research where the educational qualifications of the elementary grade teachers were described and evaluated in relation to their corresponding instructional competence. For the finding, all of the teachers in the district have high performance ratings. Proper motivation and encouragement from administrators will give equal chance or opportunity to teachers to upgrade their educational qualification and consequently improve their skills in teaching. For the conclusion, most of the teachers in the district were educationally qualified with majority of them as Bachelor of Science degree holders and 52 of them having units in graduate studies. That the teachers were efficient workers as clearly suggested by their performance ratings. Ratings given to the teachers were predominantly “very satisfactory” and some were “outstanding.” No rating of “satisfactory,” nor “unsatisfactory” was given. The teachers were aware of the improvement on their professions after they obtained units in advanced studies. For the recommendation, teachers should take the opportunity to avail of the Human Resource Development Program suggested in this study for their professional advancement.
