The descriptive method of research was adopted in conducting the study. The population of the study comprised all teachers in Lagos State. A total of one hundred teachers were randomly selected as sample from the targeted population. A Likert typed self-developed questionnaire titled Societal Perception Questionnaire (SPQ) was used for data collection. The SPQ was subjected to content validity by three experts in the field of study who scrutinized the questionnaire through face validation. Their expert suggestions were used in perfecting the structural components of the questionnaire before administration on participants on the field. The data collected were used to generate a frequency distribution table for analysis. The descriptive statistic of percentage was used in presenting the data, while the inferential statistic of chi-square was used in testing stated hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings are as follows. Societal perception of teaching/teachers had no significant effect on teacher’s professional efficiency and dedication to work. There was a significant difference between the low status accorded teachers in our society and teachers’ efficiency and dedication to work.

No significant relationship exists between teachers’ negative attitude to work and societal perception of teaching/teachers.
