CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Business teachers are not only very important in natural
development but are just indispensable because they provide the
skilled labour necessary for the development.
It is the task of these business teachers to train students to
acquire the necessary skills in accounting, type-writing, and office
practice. There is a great need for commercial teachers in Nigerian
secondary schools.
With this in mind we can conveniently conclude that it is
better to secure the right kind of people in teaching profession,
sponsoring them in seminars and workshops, ensuring them
necessary allowances and promotion.
It seems that there is growing shortage of competent teachers
in Nigerian secondary schools with business programs, especially
in Bauchi state. The teachers may teach for a short time and resign
their appointment as soon as they get other better paid jobs. Those
who stay to teach may be given subject outside their area of
specialization.

In addition, it has been observed that some teachers spend
considerable amount of time on outside economic pursuit in other
to make ends meet.
In Bauchi state, poor rapport between the principals and the
teachers coupled with the poor payment of salaries to the teachers
limit the retention of trained business teachers.
Lack of payment of housing allowance, night allowance, leave
grant medical bills and lack of loan from government discourage
serving teachers to stay in teaching profession.
This result to training shortage of business teachers in
Bauchi state, in Bauchi state, lack of sponsorship, seminars and
workshop, lack of promotion and yearly increment of salaries when
it is due, influence the economic and social status of the teachers.
This impression manifests in Nigeria.
The government seems to be nonchalant to the needs of the
teachers in general. The researcher therefore wants to investigate
whether the various problems spotlighted above are responsible
for the exodus of business teachers in Bauchi state.
