THE TEACHER VIS A VIS HIS MORALE AT THE CLOSE OF THE LAST MILLENNIUM: THE IMPLICATION FOR THE CREATIVE ARTS IN CONTEMPORARY NIGERIAN SOCIETY

Summary/Abstract: The article focused on the place of the teacher at the close of the last century and the issue of morale in the teaching profession. This investigative effort was designed to address the teacher’s personality, his training, his activities, roles, problems and prospects and his morale as he delivered the goods at the close of the last millennium. The article is significant especially at such a time that Brain-Drain was at its peak in Nigeria. Certainly, positive response of stake-holders to findings in this investigation will assist in no small measure in ensuring that the teacher takes his rightful place in Nation Building. It was clear that the teacher has been relegated to the background and thoroughly demoralized. It is expected that this effort would re-orientate the society, Government and other stake-holders to sufficiently appreciate the fact that the teacher is indispensable in society, knowing that there can be no meaningful national development without the teacher. It is the teacher who guides the learner in the learning process, produces the needed manpower for all sectors of the economy and the goose that lays the golden egg.
