Abstract
Teachers are the transmitters, inspirers and promoters of man’s eternal quest for knowledge. They are professionals but also humans. It is also true that “no country can rise above the level of its teachers” as has been commented in National Policy on Education 1986. Thus, it is necessary that education be treated as a profession and all the intensive preparation used in other professions must be part of education also. Averring that quality secondary school teachers will improve only when a practical plan is chalked and implemented, the author emphasized that the teacher educators should come forward and take the onus of planning and implementing this plan.
