Introduction
1.1 Background of the Study
The low performance of students in secondary schools, dynamic society and its needs, continue to change in expectations about the quality and assessment of education, rapid changes in science and technology lead the school and teachers to face difficulties with this respect to parents and society. In fact the issues for teachers and teachers’ education to fulfill these requirements are continuing and complex (moeini,2008). In-service teacher training has grown in importance and status and has developed as a global trend for three decades. It has been viewed by many countries as the key element in strategies to rise the quality of educational provision (Hayes,1997).
Professional development programs or in-service training programs enable teachers to become highly qualified by improving, increasing and advancing their knowledge through a better understanding of effective instructional strategies. However, it has been shown that in many cases, in-training does not actually achieve its main objectives, namely the implementation of new teaching strategies and significant changes in students’ achievements (Guskey,1986). In-service training is just as important as pre-service teacher training. This is the Governments’ role to provide teachers education which their need through in-service training. The purposes of the in-service teacher training are to enable individuals to be successful in their professionals, into develop professionalism and skills of lifelong in learning, to improve their required performance to meet the students’ needs.
Training of employee for work performance became an issue of concern that raised questions to policy and decision makers (Malhotra et al. 2007). In fact, Meyer et al. (1993) argued that better training procedures for employees result to affective, continuance and normative commitment in public organization. Indeed, employees training are appropriate ingredient in service delivery to the public at large. Employees training in public organization promote effective and competent performance of public organization. A dynamic global marketplace and increasing foreign competition has compelled public organization to become more effective and flexible in training (Gould-Williams, 2003).
Public organizations try to increase their capabilities by investing more in employees training. Moreover, it encourages competency of employees for both their own benefit and the benefit of others (Rodrigues, 2005). In a career system, initial training is of paramount in the effective and efficient work performance. The newly recruited employees enter in working without specific expertise for the job (Fraser et al, 2007). In fact, initial training offers general preparation in public service delivery. The training offers specific preparation for a new function after or before transfer or promotion. In a post system training may be less important as specialists are hired for a specific post (Koning, 2009).
Moreso, even specialists may need some training throughout their work life to update skills with regard to new technologies or other developments. Nowadays, governments seem to organize public services by merging a pure post and career system The United States, for example, has departed from a pure post system and has to a certain extent introduced a career system, even for top management posts (the senior executive service), leaving enough leeway for political appointments. The “classical” civil services with a rigid career system, on the other hand, have introduced more flexibility to allow for direct appointments to other than entry level posts, and/or have excluded posts above a certain level from the normal career path (Vähäsantane, 2009).
However, the condition of public organization becomes increasingly challenging to engage in employee training. Similarly, Chapagain (2004) argued that USA, Japan and UK adapted different strategies in training of employee through a loan from the government. Training aimed at empowering public organization employee. In fact, training in the realm of employees’ job performance need government sponsorship. Similarly, in developing countries training in public organization (like schools) is less considered on improving the capacity of its low cadre employees. According to Wereko (2010) who propound that low cadre employees have a weak voice on matter related to training. However, public organization is responsible for the full range of training of its employees. Low cadre demanding more or better education may have extremely weak voices relative to those of the military demanding armaments. In view of that, low cadre employee wanting better training for their skills for improvement of work performance (Mulkeen et al, 2007).
1.2 Statement of the Problem
The issue of teachers’ in-service training has been a great concern to most of the scholars and educational stakeholders at large worldwide. Teachers’ knowledge obtained after graduation from different colleges and universities cannot continuously support teachers due to diverse factors prevailing in education sector and the dynamic nature of knowledge and the environment. This is attributed by the fact that science and technology grows very rapidly over a short period of time. This dynamism has made this field very challenging. Koda (2006) comments that in-service teachers need to construct their complex new roles and ways of thinking about their teaching practices within the context of a supportive learning community. The government of Nigeria through the ministry of education science and technology has been employing substantial efforts and funds in making sure that primary school teachers and other teachers at different levels of education in general gets regular in-service training for the purpose of improving their performance and thus the quality of education and pupils’/students’ academic performance. This study therefore, intended to assess the impact of in-service training on teachers performance in primary school in Bwari.

The information generated from this study is expected to be used as the basis for the TPD initiator in planning mainly by considering the following; identifying better approaches to deliver training to teachers, training focus be openly declared and plan for monitoring and evaluation mechanism to assess the impact of training to teachers. Teachers who receive training need to be accountable for the fate of the training. Nevertheless, the information from the research can be used in providing a room for researchers to conduct further studies on how to make primary school teachers update their knowledge and skills with the changing world of science and technology. The study findings are also expected to add new knowledge to the body knowledge on how in-service training to primary school teachers influences the quality of education and pupils’ academic performance. Again results of this study are expected to influence policy and decision makers on how to rectify the situation so as to make primary school teachers competent enough so as to prepare a good foundation to pupils for excelling in the next levels of education.

1.8 Limitation of the Study
Like in every human endeavour, the researcher encountered slight constraints while carrying out the study. Insufficient funds tend to impede the efficiency of the researcher in sourcing for the relevant materials, literature, or information and in the process of data collection, which is why the researcher resorted to a limited choice of sample size. More so, the researcher simultaneously engaged in this study with other academic work. As a result, the amount of time spent on research will be reduced.
Moreover, the case study method utilized in the study posed some challenges to the investigator including the possibility of biases and poor judgment of issues. However, the investigator relied on respect for the general principles of procedures, justice, fairness, objectivity in observation and recording, and weighing of evidence to overcome the challenges.
