The sample of the study covered 30 basic schools (20 public schools and 10 private schools) in Jomoro District. In all 105 teachers participated in the study. Three research questions were formulated. In relation to the research questions, 4 other statistical hypotheses were also formulated and tested for the study. Descriptive statistics were adopted for presenting and analysing the data in this study. The patterns in the responses from the sample were summarized by the use of frequency tables and percentages. However, inferential statistics was used, where necessary, to determine if the patterns described in the sample can be applied to the population from which the sample is drawn.
