Abstract

Teaching programme is one of the cardinal goals of the tertiary institutions. It is a programme that is used to measure the performance of tertiary institutions. Teaching programme implementation is faced with many implementation problems. This paper examined the problems hindering effective implementation of teaching programme in the Nigerian tertiary institutions. Secondary data and primary data were used in the paper. The data were sourced from both print and online sources. This paper identified inadequate funding, shortage of infrastructural facilities, shortage of academic staff, high student-lecturers ratio, corruption, unstable academic calendar, poor staff development programme, brain-drain and ineffective supervision as problems hindering effective implementation of teaching programme in the Nigerian tertiary institutions. To address these problems, this paper recommended that the government should among other things increase the funding of tertiary education. The government should be implement the UNESCO 26% budgetary allocation recommended annually for education.
