Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the
staff development programme. A case study of secondary
school teachers in Kaduna State. Specificall y, the
study focussed on staff development programs variables
such as in-service training, workshops and seminars. Also
factors to motivate teachers to benefit in the staff
development programme variables such as in-service training,
workshops and seminars. Also, factors to motivate teachers
to benefit in the staff development programme were studied.
For examples, promotions, payment of salaries and allowances,
payment of duty and house masters allowances, leave grants,
provision of teaching and learning materials.
All the six zones and the Ministry headquaters, Kaduna
as well as 300 teachers from a population of 5,300 (using
Morgan Table) and 50 senior officials from 160 senior
officials formed the respondents. The 300 teachers and 50
senior officials have served from one to fifteen years in
the Ministry of Education.
Eight hypotheses were drawn to test whether there was a
significant difference in the opinions of teachers and senior
officials of the Ministry of Education on the effect of
staff development programme of secondary school teachers in
Kaduna State. It was found that only 3.9 percent of 5,300
teachers in secondary schools attended in-service training
3 times in the last ten years that they had been teaching
in Secondary Schools. (Table 4.2). Again, only 12 percent
of 5,300 teachers had attended workshops and seminars three
times in the last 10 years that they had been teaching in
Secondary Schools. It was also found that majority of
the Teachers are not benefitting fully from the Staff
Development Programme of the Ministry of Education. Also,
motivating factors to boost the teachers morale to go for
further training were not given to teachers. Such
factors were payments of course allowances, prompt payments of
salaries; leave grants, Duty allowances to mention quiet a
f ew.
In order to improve staff development programmes of
secondary school teachers, it was recommended that; the
Ministry of Education should make enough provision for
fund in its and annual budget. The Ministry of Finance
should release the training allowances in full to the
Ministry of Education.
