It highlights teachers’ roles in actualizing the implementation of the new curriculum and the challenges in respect of the opportunities in acquiring sufficient knowledge and understanding on the part of the would-be teachers for the new programmes as contained in the new curriculum.

It made suggestions and concludes that the relevance of teacher education that would facilitate quality assurance for the teachers, the learners and the nation at large should not be undermined. A paper like this would be an impetus to the understanding of the challenges inherent in the present day development of education in Nigeria and that requires to be addressed. | en_US |
