This study investigated the demand and supply of qualified teaching manpower in secondary schools
in Ekiti State, Nigeria. As an ex-post facto and descriptive survey, the study population comprised all the 170
secondary schools in the State. The sample was identical with the population as all the schools were involved
in the study. The supply of teachers was delimited to higher institutions within Ekiti State and higher
institutions in neighbouring States. In terms of teacher supply, the 2 higher institutions in Ekiti State were
chosen. Out of the 30 higher institutions in the neighbouring States, 16 were also chosen, thereby giving a total
of 18 higher institutions. The method of selection was by multi-stage, purposive and stratified random sampling
techniques. The instrument used to collect data for the study was an inventory while the data collected were
analyzed using frequency counts and percentages. It as found that the annual enrolment growth rate in the
schools was 5.6% while the teacher-student ratio was 1:30. The supply of qualified teachers did not match the
demand for them in all the schools. It was projected that an additional 3,585 teachers would be required by the
year 2016. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the State government should endeavour to increase
the supply of qualified teaching manpower into all the schools in order to match the demand for them.
Key words: Demand, qualified, secondary, schools, supply, teachers,
