Abstract

The study examined promoting teacher education for national development in 21^st century. It is a well-known fact to note that without teacher, there will be no nation. Therefore, the development of a nation lies on quality and efficient education. Education becomes a strong instrument for bringing up the youths or helping them to lead out of poverty or elevate their latent potentials towards national development. It was observed from the study that teachers are not well motivated even recognized by the government. Based on the observation, it was recommended that there must be proper funding of education by the three tiers of government in Nigeria and teachers must be well motivated.
