| dc.description.abstract | The world of works is dynamic, it is therefore imperative that workers must at all times, update, upgrade, retrain and learn new skills in order to cope with the new challenges of the world of work. Thus, this work is conceived to examine factors as determinants of workers' readiness for lifelong learning in the world of work. The study adopted a survey research design. The population of the study covered all teaching staff in Lagos state. Five research questions and hypotheses were developed to guide the study. A structured questionnaire titled: Teachers Readiness to Lifelong Learning Questionnaire (TRLLQ) developed by the researchers was the major instrument for data collection. Both descriptive and inferential (Pearson Moment Correlation) statistics were used for data analysis. The result of the findings shows that there is a significant relationship between environmental factors, management policy, organization training policy, job description/workload, remuneration, promotion policy of the organization, and teachers' readiness for lifelong learning. Based on the findings, it was recommended among other things that teachers should be exempted from activities outside the classroom to reduce their workload, continuous training programmes with the established standard should be carried out for teachers and training must form part of the policy framework for all private schools in Lagos State, Nigeria. | en_US |
