Abstract
Functional education remains the veritable instrument for the production of a citizenry that can revitalize the economy for global competitiveness. Effective teaching and pleasant learning should produce active literate and numerate persons who can clearly read and write with required understanding, and communicate thoughts without any ambiguity. They should also observe things and analyze emerging data for a conclusive resolution of human and societal problems (Oyekan
2006). This exclusive and arduous task of human resource development for economic growth in a digital era is carried out by teachers. Such individuals whose professional roles and achievements largely depend on their trainable qualities and determination to succeed should be provided with well planned institutional mapping so as to motivate them towards excellence.
