dc.descriptionThe purpose of the study was to investigate whether incentives would be able to draw teachers from urban areas to accept posting to teach in the rural areas and to retain the, and if so what type of incentives. The theoretical review centred on incentive offers for teachers. Factors underlying the perception of incentives and theories of teacher migration were reviewed. The study was a descriptive survey. Two hundred and eighty seven (287) constituted respondents. The study revealed several causes leading to teachers refusing posting to the rural areas. Among these were feeding accommodation, health care facilities and lack of teaching/learning materials. The study also show that even though some incentive packages were purported to have been sent to rural area teachers, only a few teachers seemed to be aware of them. Recommendations were made to the means of getting teachers accepting posting to the rural area schools. Pertinent among these recommendations was the need for provision of residential accommodation for rural area teachers.
