ABSTRACT
The study was designed to investigate challenges that newly trained teachers face at their hrst stations in baisic schools. Since the role of the teacher in human resource development is very valuable, anything that adversely affects his/her performance should not be left" to chance. Purposive sampling t"ecJmique , was adopted in selecting both headteachers and the newly trained teachers for the study. All the eight "educational circuits in the AVlUtu-Efutu-Senya District were covered. Questionnaii"es that were used to gather the data from the respondents consisted of both open-ended and closed-ended items. The research instrument was pilot-tested on newly trained teachers and their heads in the Agona Swedru Municipality. This mi11iature study assisted in detecting and removing ambiguous and irrelevant statements and the reliability of the instrument. The reliability coefficient ofthe instrument w~s found t6 be 1'=7.25. The final data collected for the study were analysed using SPSS software package and presented in percentages and frequency distribution. The main findings that enlanated from the study were that the newly trained teachers had adequate orientation in their respective schools and that they did not face social challenges. However, the new teachers faced some economic and professional challenges in their schools. It is, therefore, recommended that P.T. A.'s and S.M.C.'s should assist newiy trained teachers in their schools financially and the G.E.S. should also pay such teachers' travelling allowances to them. Again, heads of the basic schools should help new teachers to secure reference books to help make their teaching easy.
