Frequency counts and chi-square statistical tools were used to analysis the data collected. The findings of this study revealed that 68% of Biology teachers agreed with the status of the contents while 32% disagreed. However, both qualified and unqualified teachers viewed ecology teaching the same way that is ecology teaching was not properly done due to the fact that some Biology teachers skip certain areas of the syllabus that they find difficult to teach. Similarly, experienced and less experienced teachers had the same views about status of ecology teaching in Kwara State.Based on the findings, the following recommendations were made: biology teachers be encourage to be making used of natural resources to teach ecology and practicals should be carried out satisfactorily in the schools.; teachers should be sponsored to seminars and workshops specifically on Ecology teaching.
