Abstract | Malawi is a small, landlocked country in the southern sub region of the African continent. The few democratic principles inherited from the British government were marred by the biases of the one political party of the time. This resulted in the government making undemocratic decisions such as banning freedom of the press, detention without trial, declaring the president for life, giving support for a vice president in the government and the party. In 1994, Malawi introduced multiparty democracy. This paper compares and contrasts the primary teacher training program and its teachers' behavior between the period of the 1-party rule and that of the multiparty democracy. The paper explains the impact of democracy on primary school teachers' performance inside and outside the classroom. It concludes that work lies ahead for the government to properly train teachers to cope with the challenges of democracy. (BT) |
