Comparative study analyzes student teachers' attitudes and aspirations in Ghana and Japan, highlighting similarities and differences.
Education is an important investment any nation needs to make in its people to enable achieve better developments. Many nations realizing the value of education are putting in all that they can to ensure that its nationals acquire the best form of education. Education can not go in if there are not qualified and willing teachers to carry it out. Many developing countries are faced with shortage of qualified and willing teachers who will do the job. According to Towse et-at (2002), there appears to be a paradox best summed up as: everybody values education, but nobody wants to be a teacher. Ghana like many developing nations is also faced with lack of qualified teachers.
