Moreover, Teaching Practice has also helped student teachers in making the most effective use of their teaching resources. They added that it's an essential tool for getting pupils ready for upcoming assignments. Teaching Practice has also developed in them the zeal of working with children of school age. It has also improved their mindset on dressing corporately and behaving maturely. The following recommendations are made: To motivate student teachers to complete the six-week programme, the government should arrange for a way to pay them. They should be given an orientation programme. The teaching practice programme and the difficulties they encounter during the training should be wellknown to them. For instructors' jobs to be easier, the government should also assist in providing classroom facilities in schools. To adequately prepare student instructors and expose them to real-world teaching experiences, microteaching should be thoroughly presented. To provide trainee teachers with the best professional practice, education faculties and colleges should strategically plan the exercise to give the best professional practice to the trainee teachers.
