%X The objective of this paper is to explore the motivations that lie behind the primary school teachers’  applying for and undertaking the SMP program after years of being in-service. We deem this piece of  understanding important if the faculty is to better serve these students and motivate them to do better in  their studies within this program and perhaps even beyond. This is because taking up this program would  mean a great deal of sacrifices including risking their career (should they violate academic regulations),  time and effort. (Abstract by author)
