Abstract
This study examines secondary school teachers’ level of emotional intelligence
and their moral character as predictors of moral character among secondary
school students in Ilorin South LGA, Kwara State. 106 teachers and 318
students from 20 secondary schools were purposively sampled for the study.
Data collected were analysed using mean-scores, standard-deviation and multiple-
regression. The study revealed that secondary school teachers’ emotional
intelligence predicts secondary school students’ moral character. It was recommended
that there is a need for teaching emotional intelligence as a foundation
course at all the teacher training institutions in Nigeria.
