Random sampling procedure was used to select sixteen Post Primary institutions for the study from these zonal areas. The questioneers and observation data gathering procedure were used for the study. Frequency distribution ratio and percentages were used in the statistical analysis of the study. Results from the study showed that some clothing and textile teachers in Post Primary institutions did not qualify to teach the subject, that is, they did not have clothing and textile training background. Some reasons for the dislike of the subject matter include difficulty in teaching the subject and time and energy consuming.

Most laboratory facilities and equipment were inadequate and inappropriate, the lack of space for practicals such as fitting, cutting, free traffic and dressing mirrow were apparant. The foregoing, thus, have serious learning experiences implication for the 6-3-3-4; educational system. Hence, recommendations have been made to curb some of these problem situation.
