This study aimed at analyzing the factors leading to teachers’ turnover in public schools that are in rural local government authorities. The study employed a case study design and sampled 91 teachers from Simanjiro District Council. The study found that, Teachers’ turnover rate in Simanjiro District Council is alarming at the average of 31.2%, whereby in general teachers’ turnover rate is ranging on the average of 10.4% while national labour turnover rate is ranging at the average of 1.9%. It was also found that both extrinsic and intrinsic related factors significantly affect teachers’ turnover in Simanjiro District Council. The study concluded that the teachers ‘turnover rate for Simanjiro District Council is very high to the extent of jeopardizing the education service in Simanjiro District Council. In order to reduce teachers’ turnover, the government should improve benefits to teachers such as better packages, meet teachers’ prospects, control external forces or pressures that influence teachers’ turnover, change of administrative guidelines and put in place strategies that maximize teachers’ job satisfaction. The study recommends to LGAs to design treatment mechanism for rural teachers. Teachers are very significant resource of the government which makes the government role of education to be fulfilled; Government through LGAs should pay teachers based on their work environment and look into their salary scale and draft a compensation packages that are considered competitive in order to retain talented teachers in the rural areas.
