Abstract

The study examined how teachers’ education can be reimagined in Nigerian Colleges of Education to promote global competencies and employability. Descriptive survey research design was used, and answers were provided to three research questions designed in this study.  Population of the study comprised 3,708 lecturers of selected colleges of education in Anambra State, while a sample size of 370 lecturers was drawn using a proportionate sampling technique. Cronbach’s Alpha technique was used to verify the questionnaire’s reliability with a cumulative coefficient of 0.88. Weighted Mean and frequency tables were used to answer the research questions.
