Teacher's reward is no more in heaven, they want their reward right here. For there is no nation that can grow beyond the level of education of the citizen, there is a need for more commitment on the path of the teachers to improve on teaching delivery in this new normal world. No matter how laudable any educational policy might be, it is the teachers that will transform such policies to action that will lead to increase productivity. Revitalizing teachers education, must start for revitalizing teachers welfare, and ensuring teacher satisfaction on the job. A dissatisfied teacher cannot be productive. An unproductive teachers will always exhibit negative behaviour towards their job. It was recommended that government at all levels should ensure that there is increase in budgetary allocation to education, to cater for infrastructure needs, and ensure effective satisfaction of teachers for increase productivity. E-learning will definitely require different learning style and this will require training and re-training of teachers.
