The study aimed at the perceptions of primary, secondary and tertiary school teachers concerning retirement. The sample consisting of 600 retired teachers was randomly selected from three geo-political zones in Nigeria. A questionnaire consisting of 20 items on the perceptions of teachers concerning retirement was designed by the researcher. The instrument was validated by experts in school administration and test/evaluation in Niger Delta University Wilberforce Island, Bayelsa State Nigeria. It was tested for reliability using the test re-test method and data obtained was analyzed using the Product Moment Correlation Coefficient Statistics. It was established at 0.86 which shows the instrument was found reliable. This was administered to the respondents and the responses collated and analyzed. The result reveals that there is no significant difference between primary and secondary schools teachers concerning retirement in Nigeria but it differs with tertiary school teachers since they are open to contract jobs and other opportunities outside service. The primary and secondary school teachers in Nigeria, consider retirement as a curse while it is a blessing to the tertiary school teachers. Valued suggestions were made to cater for retirees and retirement.
