Abstract
This research work entitled “Existence and Need of Mentoring for Professional
Development of Teachers’’ has been carried out to identify the need and practices of
mentoring for professional development of teachers. For the research study the primary
data were collected from the thirty English language teachers who are teaching in the
colleges of Morang District by applying non-random purposive sampling procedure. The data
obtained from the respondents through the questionnaire have been analyzed and
interpreted using simple statistical tools. The study shows that almost all the English
language teachers of different colleges of Morang District have positive attitudes towards
need and practices of mentoring for professional development of teachers. In spite of their
positive attitude, they have not been involved in any mentoring activities yet. No institutions
under my study had formal system of mentoring too.
