As a result of adjustment policies in most African education systems, new and often "less trained" teachers have emerged and may, in some cases, be at the root of school failures. This situation forces some parents to use home tutors to facilitate their children's academic success. The aim of this study is to highlight the effect of the status of teachers and the home tutors on the academic performance of secondary school pupils. A questionnaire survey was carried out among a sample of 176 students and 13 teachers from College 6 in Tahoua (Niger). The results show that the academic performance of primary school pupils is highly dependent on the status of school and home teachers. In other words, pupils with tenured teachers and a home tutors perform better in school than their counterparts with contract teachers and no home tutor. Suggestions were also made because, on the one hand, the question of the training of novice teachers in a situation was becoming increasingly crucial in the light of recent reforms introducing a rapid entry into the profession and, on the other hand, the possibility for pupils to have a tutor at home, through strategies involving the actors of education.
