Abstract The study explored the critical nexus between education and national security in Nigeria, emphasizing teacher preparedness as a strategic avenue for promoting national security awareness in the post-COVID-19 era. It underscored the growing threats of religious extremism, misinformation, and societal unrest exacerbated by educational inequalities and post-pandemic vulnerabilities. Using a mixed-method design combining empirical literature review and stakeholder consultations, the study identified gaps in Nigeria’s teacher training systems, particularly in emergency response, civic education, and ideological resilience. A comprehensive training framework is proposed, integrating continuous professional development, curriculum-based security modules, and multi-agency collaboration. Findings aimed to guide policymakers, teacher training institutions, and education ministries in creating proactive, security-conscious learning environments.
