In the research, “interview” and “focus group interview” techniques were used as data collection method. Content analysis method was used in the analysis of the data obtained from the research. At the end of the research, it was concluded that the qualifications the primary school teachers should have are general culture, primary school management, guidance, communication, personal/professional development, personal/moral characteristics, pedagogical knowledge/skill, technological knowledge/skill, and field knowledge/skill. Furthermore, findings revealed that the necessary education is not given in the education faculties, primary school teachers are not successful in all academic courses and inadequate in skill courses, and primary school teachers cannot be successful in all areas.
