A 9-item structured Students’ Perception of Teachers Attitude to Teaching of Business Students (SPTATS) validated questionnaire with reliability coefficients of 0.80 was used for data collection. Mean standard deviation and t-test were used for analysis. The finding showed that the majority of the students agreed that teachers’ attitude to teaching of business studies was positive. Also, there was significant difference between male and female students’ ‘perception of teachers’ attitude towards the teaching of business studies. Based on the findings it was recommended among others that teachers should be motivated so that they can display more positive attitude and put in more effort for effective teaching and learning of business studies. The business studies teachers should also attend to the needs of all students in the class and should not give room for gender discrimination.
