Abstract


This paper examined the Teachers’ job commitment, which is an internal force that drives teachers to invest more time and energy in keeping up involvement in the school. This willingness of promoting the school creates emotional link between teachers and the school which ultimately inspires teachers to seek ways to enhance teaching profession and establish an effective learning environment to allow students to reach their targets in order to achieve the educational goals. Commitment to teaching is crucial factors that contribute to the achievement of students. This study explores the role of teachers’ commitment in student achievement. Globally, teachers’ job commitment has been variously described as a panacea for students’ better achievement in school. Every society’s goal or aim is to produce quality students who can withstand the global educational challenges and contribute meaningfully to the society they belong. Teachers’ job commitment is thereby promoting goal achievement resulting in improved student achievement, profiting both the community and society. The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja in collaborations with the FCT secondary education board and private sector should highly encourage and promote teacher job commitment in the secondary schools through adequate financial support and provisions of teaching resources such as the real objects, pictorials and graphic representations, audio, visual, audio-visual and printed resources. Also, Zonal Education Departments, education offices and schools should facilitate good teaching-learning environment by involvement of local community, governmental sector, private investors and non-governmental organizations. These teachers stay in their profession and are committed in the jobs.
