Abstract

In Nigeria, teacher education is offered in two types of institutions, namely: universities and colleges of education. The major role of teachers is the provision of quality education at all levels of education...

...A purposive sampling technique was used to sample two hundred and forty (240) teacher educators out of 2,310 from three Federal Colleges of Education in the South-East geo-political zone. The ratio was 120:70:50 in terms of the teacher educator’s population in the respective schools. A 28-item structured questionnaire, constructed on four-point Likert scale and validated by three teacher educators, not involved in the study, was used for data collection. Mean was used for the data analysis. The findings have lots of implications on the attainment of the SDG4 by the year 2030. Suggestions were proffered on the need for re-training programme to get teachers acquainted with the active learning strategy skills to promote the attainment of the SDG4 by 2030.
