Abstract
Teacher education plays a critical role in shaping the quality of education and national development. This study explores the challenges and opportunities in enhancing the quality of teacher education in Nigeria. The findings reveal significant challenges, including inadequate infrastructure, outdated curriculum, limited resources, and insufficient professional development opportunities for teachers. However, opportunities for improvement exist through curriculum reforms, investment in infrastructure and resources, and enhanced professional development initiatives. Addressing these challenges and seizing the opportunities can lead to the transformation of teacher education, ultimately improving the overall quality of education in Nigeria. This study provides valuable insights for policymakers, teacher training institutions, and other stakeholders to drive evidence-based reforms in teacher education.
