Abstract
It has been severally contented whether teaching is a profession. Goings on in that sector raises a lot of doubts. Nevertheless, the Teachers Registration Council of Nigeria was established through Act. No 31 of 1993 to regulate and control the teaching profession. The question therefore, still remains as apt today as ever before; is teaching a profession? This paper is an attempt to examine the status of teaching in Nigeria and is of the opinion that the vocation is yet to meet all the characteristics of a profession. The barriers of professionalizing teaching were highlighted. The writer discusses also the benefits of the on-going teachers registration exercise, in the country, to the status of teaching occupation in Nigeria. Finally, the writer concludes by enjoining teachers, in the nation’s education system, to appreciate and avail themselves of the unique opportunity afforded by the registration exercise by TRCN and be duly registered as Nigeria takes the bold step towards professionalization of teaching to guarantee quality control and quality assurance in the education system.
