The study employed thirty (30) kindergarten teachers from each<br>district, five (5) head teachers from each district and two (2) officers responsible for HR from each<br>district.

The purpose of the<br>study was to ascertain the sociological variables that account for placement of teachers to teach in<br>kindergarten classes. Simple frequencies and percentages were used in analysing the findings. The<br>study concluded among others that most of the teachers teaching at the kindergarten were not<br>trained in Early Childhood Education. This was due to the fact that, considerable number of headteachers do not find out the areas of specialization of teachers posted to their school before<br>assigning them the kindergarten classes to teach and the reservation of the kindergarten for the<br>‘newest’ member on the staff syndrome.</span> </p> |
