Abstract This study focused on the secondary data of trained and untrained teachers in elementary schools of the district of Manipur with emphasis on the district-wise distribution, regional disparities, and trend during the period of 2020–21 to 2024–25 from the data source Unified District Information System for Education Plus (UDISE+). The study used descriptive and analytical approach of the research design to analyze teacher qualification status in all sixteen districts of the state. The results showed that there was a significant difference in the availability of professionally trained teachers between the different districts and between the hills and valleys. While there was moderate improvement in the proportion of trained teachers during the study period, the numbers of untrained teachers remain high in the elementary teaching force. The comparatively higher values of the Teacher Quality Index (TQI) were observed in Tamenglong and Thoubal while the highest percentage of untrained teachers was consistently observed in the Imphal West district. The study emphasizes the need to strengthen the teacher education institutions, regular recruitment of teachers and strict enforcement of professional norms in elementary education in Manipur in improving the quality of elementary education.
