Teachers'perception of the Welfare Packages for Teaching Staffin the Lagos State Primary Schools: Implication for Teacher Productivity

Abstract

This paper examined teachers' perception of the welfare packages for teaching staff in the Lagos state primary schools. A total of 300 teachers were selected for the study from 25 primary schools in five Local Education Districts. A questionnaire titled Teachers' perception of Welfare packages (TPWSQ) was developed and administered by the researcher. The data collected were analysed by calculation of weighted means. The study found that the welfare packages provided by the Government for the teachers in the Lagos state primary schools were very inadequate and unsatisfactory. Based on this finding, it was recommended that the issue of welfare packages should be adequately addressed positively towards enhancing teachers' productivity in Lagos state.
