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.
