Abstract:In recent years there has been an accelerating debate in Nigeria, as elsewhere, as school (especially secondary school) enrolments expand and new demands are made on the schooling process so as to reflect and even instigate change. This has been underlined in both the federal government's White Paper of 1977 and subsequent Implementation Committee's 1979 Blueprint. There seems to be an international consensus about the need to upgrade both the academic and the professional competence of the teacher. To part-meet this need the UK developed B.Ed. courses. This article seeks to support the Implementation Committee's pleas for more imaginative expansion in teacher training opportunities inside Nigeria and to encourage Nigerian universities to develop two-year post-NCE courses that will lead to B.Ed. (at least at the Ordinary level) degrees. The author suggests ways in which Nigeria can solve her problems of training teachers at home. Ref., sum. (in French).
