Abstract

The role of teachers in promoting the quality of education in Katsina State is critical. This is because no a particular state can grow beyond the quality of its teachers. Allocation of a top priority to the determination of an accurate level of teacher commitment is very relevant and significant. The main objective of this paper is to determine the level of teacher commitment in Funtua Local Government Public Secondary Schools, Katsina State. The study population comprised of all the 14 public secondary schools in Funtua, Katsina State. Ten schools out of the total 14 schools were randomly sampled for the study using Morgan and Krejcie’s. Survey design was employed to carry out the research. Teacher Commitment Questionnaire (TCQ) with eighteen (9) items which was developed by Allen (1997) was adopted to collect data from the respondents. The collected data were then analyzed using descriptive statistics. It was found that moderate level of teacher commitment (M=2.75, SD=0.41) existed in Funtua, Katsina State. The study was summarized and concluded. Implications for theories and practice were discussed and recommendations were proposed for future researches.
