ABSTRACT:

Therefore, the focus of this paper is to  give a brief description of the events taken place for teachers by different dignitaries across the country. Finally, relevant suggestions were put forward to achieve a better staff development programme aimed at helping teachers to update their knowledge, expertise, skills and competence in the teaching profession.
