CHAPTER

INTRODUCTION
1.1
Background
of the Study:
The
ultimate realization of education depends on the teacher as he will ultimately
be responsible for translating policy into action and principle into practice
in his interactions with students. Teachers have critical role to play in
education reform. For meaningful and
effective actualization of education therefore, good instructional strategies
are required.
In
virtually all works of life today, be it in the business, public service or the
profession, morality and conscious have been neglected. Greed, selfishness and
deceit, have become the order of the day. Nothing goes by the proper or
excepted channels of behavior to work to achieve their means of livelihood.
People’s
attitude to work and even to one another has becomes so enetic and poised only
towards the mass acquisition of materials health the issue of job satisfaction
or services to humanity has become to many purely secondary and not to be
reckoned with. This development of lack of real interest, business and
dedication to work in the average Nigerians of today is treatable. Therefore,
the teacher’s attitude towards work had been a major concern. According to
Bello and Awalu (2008), Nigeria schools have failed in their role in developing
functional skill in the students. The increase in the rate of unemployment
among school graduates is a clear indication of the nature of the product of
our teachers. It is the general opinion that no educational system can rise
above the quality of its teachers.
In
other words, the teacher’s quality is an index of the educational development
of any nation.
Alhaji
Shehu Shagari, at the convocation ceremony of the University of Nigeria, Nsukka
on March 7, (1982) said, among other things that; “the attitude of Nigerians to
work is the worst in the world, if only every Nigerian is prepared to do an
honest day’s work, Nigerian world achieve wonders” this degenerating trend in
all sphere of human endeavour is observed more in the urban towns, where the
degree of sophistication seems to dedicate the evil pace.
Pathetically,
this national sickness trends to make an in-road into the teaching profession –
a noble profession, since after the civil war, the average man in the street
laments pathetically over the apparent fallen of standard of Education in our
society.
Public
opinion lames the situation on the attitudes of teachers’ toward work. This
ugly situation seems to the researcher, indeferable in the present circumstance
of ever increasing number of trained and qualified teachers in our schools.
President
Shehu Shagari said that; “Reflecting on the quality of Education given to our
children, one is tempted to believe that teacher attitude to work needs
critical re-appraisal. Against this background, the researcher wishes to
investigate the attitude to work of teachers in primary schools in Enugu Local
Government Area of Enugu State.

1.3
Statement
of Problems:
Our
country cannot be truly great unless teachers are selfless, dedicated, sections
and consistent in daily discharge of their duties. Primary school is the first
step in the educational upbringing of the child, the teacher’s attitude to duty
should be very significant.
Teachers
who come to school late and fail to attend morning assembly and functions, are
indirectly telling the pupils to grow discipline, punctuality and orderliness
to the duty. Worst still, they constitute a challenge to the authority and have
lost the right attitude to work. Would the teachers who leaves in place of work
for another part time engagement be regarded as competent and dedicated
personality who knows his responsibility to the country in general
