Abstract

This paper concerns itself only with ascertaining the strategies that could ensure effective mentoring in tertiary institutions. The survey method was employed. The study population comprised 78 teacher educators in tertiary institutions in Anambra State. One research question guided the study while one null hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance using t-test statistics. A structured questionnaire was used to gather data for the study.
