Abstract: The quality of teachers in Nigeria has always occupied the front burner when interrogating poor academic performance of pupils in schools. This interrogation often skips arguments in favour of efforts already made to checkmate poor quality of teachers. Many government agencies at both state and national levels in Nigeria (Ministries of education, Universal Basic Education Commission (UBEC), State Universal Basic Education Board (SUBEB), Teachers’ Registration Council of Nigeria, National Board on Technical Education (NBTE), National Teachers’ Institute, National Council for Colleges of Education, National Education Research and Development Council etc) and development partners (United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO, Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and United States Agency for International Development (USAID) have, at one time or the other, got involved in efforts towards improving teacher quality.
