The Seventh Commonwealth Education Conference, held in Accra in 1977 recommended that initial training, induction and in-service training of teachers should be recognised as aspects of one on-going process of teacher education; and teacher education should be considered as inseparable from the process of curriculum change and development. It also saw co-ordination of all education and training resources to be vital if the piece-meal approach to teacher education was to be overcome. The importance of these recommendations has been confirmed by the present study.
