Data were gathered with the use of a mailed questionnaire and analyzed employing the turnover formula, chisquare test, frequency counts, percentage, rank orders, mean and standard deviation.
Result showed that mobility consisted mostly of resignations and transfer. Direction of mobility was more towasrd private business enterprises than towards other government agencies. Average turnover rate during th five-years period under study was 7.19 percent.
Mobility was found to be associated with salary, lenght of teaching service, professional prestige, academic rank and security of tenure, but not with age,sex marital status, family size, major fields of study and educational level. Chiefreasons mentioned for quitting teching were inadequate salary, better opportunities in other occupations and discriminatory administrative practices.
