Research Design
    This study is correlation that is it indicates the direction and magnitude of the relationship between the variables, which are resource availability and productivity of teachers and as such, data are collected on the understudies variables is carried out on the data, which serve as the basis for the comparison of these variables and the final stage is the evaluation.
