The collected data were coded and analyzed by using IBM-Statistical Product for service solution (SPSS) Version 20 and presented by frequency, tables and percentage. The findings from the study revealed that both sampled public secondary school has a human resources training in place, but it is poorly planned, not systematic and not coordinated. However, all interviewed teachers were aware of the existence of human resources training. The low budget allocation was found to hamper the implementation of the human resources training program. However, the human resources training itself had a positive correlation with the academic performance. Therefore, it is recommended that, Government and other stakeholders should have a well planned, systematic and coordinated training and development program through the establishment of specific training sections.
