- Supervisors should be friendly when engaging student teachers in supervision of teaching practice exercise. Friendly supervision enables student teachers to be comfortable and bring out their best during supervision of the teaching practice exercise.
- Schools of posting student teachers should be encouraged to produce and use relevant instructional materials. Instructional materials act as an aid of teaching and if not readily available for use by student teachers, there might be some problem imparting knowledge.
- The duration of teaching practice exercise should be looked into by relevant bodies. Student teachers have complained that the duration of teaching practice i.e. 6 weeks for Faculty of Education, University of Benin students is too short. Solving this problem of duration of teaching practice will enable student teachers have more experience during teaching practice exercise.
- Supervision of teaching practice exercise should be done in a way that encourages student teachers to achieve their best.
