Problems
of In-Service Education:
1.Financial problem: In-service education programme is capital
intensive and most of the participants are self-sponsored. As a result, many of
them cannot cope with exorbitant school fees and other incidental expenses for
textbooks and personal upkeeps.
2. Time
factor : It is a major constraint as contact hours for lectures and
examinations are inadequate. Therefore, the effectiveness and scope of
instruction is in doubt. The unpredictable nature of the academic year in the
universities and other teacher education institutions has made it impossible to
keep the long vacation nature of the sandwich teacher education programmes in
most campuses
3. Content and Methodology : There
are a lot of discrepancies in the approaches and techniques adopted by the
different institutions involved in in-service education programmes which imply
lack of uniformity in course content and methodology.
4. Planning and organization: There is the problem of poor planning and
organization whereby available activities for participants are impersonal and
unrelated to their job settings in the classroom.
5. Infrastructure : There is the problems
of inadequate facilities in terms of classrooms, laboratories and boarding
facilities to accommodate the size of enrolment.
6. Enrolment : The massive enrolment create problems of effective
management of both instruction and students.
7. Resource Person : Most of lecturers demand high money, and other benefits also to attend
in –service program.
