Advancing Frontiers Of Knowledge In The Formal School System Through Effective Transformational Education And Value Re -Orientation Of Teaching Personnel

Abstract

The present state of the nation's educational system is worrisome since the decadence observed is manifesting in 
virtually all the sub-units that make up the nation's educational system. To effect quality educational delivery, effective transformational education should be agitated for while value re- orientation geared towards changing the mindset of the teaching personnel for better performance must also be prioritized. To this end, the paper examines different ways through which transformational education and value re-orientation of teaching personnel can help advance knowledge frontiers in the nation's formal school setting. To achieve this, the paper under conceptual clarification discusses transformational education and value re-orientation. Transformational education and its impartation on educational delivery were also fully discussed while notable core values were identified and discussed in relation to their attributes as regards change of behaviour among teaching personnel in the nation's formal school system. Based on the conclusion, it was recommended among others that a responsive monitoring team should be raised to checkmate the excesses of the teaching personnel and to also identify and report all lapses observed in the school affairs for possible amendment and improved productivity.
