Introduction
The Colleges of education are one of the most significant communal institutions in civilisation. It is one of the post-secondary institutions in Delta state, planned purposely to prepare students for teaching. . Colleges of education are expected to produce individuals who are balanced and refined in all aspects of human endeavor, academically, socially, psychologically and otherwise (Ganagana & Splent-Martina, 2017). Health education is one of the major components of primary healthcare (Suoke, 2013).
The Federal Republic of Nigeria (2014) in her National Policy on Education affirmed the rationale of health education programme comprises generating extremely aggravated, reliable and competent health educators for every levels of education; heartening more the courage of enquiry and originality in health educators ; helping health educators to fit into the communal life of the neighborhood and civilisation in general and improving their commitment to national goals; offering educator s with the scholarly and specialised setting satisfactory for their job and to make them adjustable to any altering circumstances not just in the existence of their nation, but in the globe and enhancing educator s' commitment to their job. Health education cannot be on awareness only, it must inspire health educators towards healthy livelihood (Ogbe , 2014). Healthy and creative health educators are key contributors to the strength, financial development and continued existence of any nation Nabofa & Dada , 2013).
The colleges requires health educators who are committed to the worth and objectives of the colleges. Efficiency of health education programme in the colleges is directly linked to health educators' job commitment which results from their mental contentment. They should be contented with the colleges in which they perform (Cole & Bruch 2016). A number of authors were concerned about if commitment was a rational anticipation for health educators in colleges of education where alteration in administration and their focal point may happen fast (Caudron, 2016). Health education has continued globally with steady growth in investigations. There are constant investigations in the region of preventive health for attitudinal alteration and behavior. Job protection entails secure, comparatively expected institutions in which health educators might perform their job devoid of disruption, impairment, threat and harm. Adebayo (2013) noted that the fright of academic staff of higher institutions in Nigeria is that they are not safe in the institutions. Ogunyemi and Aliyu (2011) noted that there is inadequate protection against infectious diseases given to health educators in their job performance in higher institutions of learning in Nigeria.
Protection of health educators against COVID 19 pandemic in the 21 st century enhances their job commitment. Meyer and Allen (2017) suggested that the commitment can be conceptualised as types of aspirations such as emotional, responsibility and persistence commitment. Health teachers needs to be protected against COVID 19 pandemic in their job performance .In an inquiry, Meyer, Paunonen, Gellatly, Goffin and Jackson (2019) found that there was significant relationship between provision of protections equipment against infectious diseases and health educator's job commitment. Health educators in the colleges need protection against COVID 19 pandemic in their job performance. Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchison and Sowa (2016) noted that health educators ' views of colleges of education commitment to them in terms of provision of protections is Alleged College support , based on health educators ' overall attitude about the level to which the colleges worth their assistance and cares concerning their protection against COVID 19 pandemic. They further affirmed that health educators who distinguish an elevated height of College support are further prone to sense a responsibility to "pay back" the colleges in terms of emotional commitment and job-related actions.
Colleges of Education issues form the basis of the institution and recline in both the institution and the teachers (Rickli & PerdeckNolost, 2012).
In an exploration, Burleson and Thoron (2014) found that protection against infectious diseases on the job significantly relate with health educators job commitment Consciousness can influence the observation of health educators due to their past understanding and approaches (Oppenheim, Lidow, Ayscue, Saylors, Mbala & Kumakamba , 2019) .
In an investigation, Meyer and Allen (2011) found that emotional institutional commitment has insinuation for scheduled job behaviour since it is a psychological condition. Protection is emotion of security from hurt or hazard, the defense and surveillance of major worth and the lack of fear to obtained ideals (Dania & Eboh, 2013). Health educators wellbeing and performance optimization are the basis of an efficient existence in any unsafe college setting (Jones, O'Connor, Deuster , Peck , Shake & Frost , 2010). In an analysis, Ingersoll and May (2011) found that health educators frequently depart teaching job as they are discontented with a protection given to them. Marzano, Waters, and McNulty (2005) noted that in order for colleges of education to thrive, colleges of education administrators must perform efficiently and as well support health educators. Protection of life and possessions is a basic human right guaranteed under the Nigerian constitution. Protection requirements embrace security against COVID 19 pandemic in the colleges of education in Delta state. Devoid of protection health educators against infectious diseases in teaching, our vision of connecting the influence of schooling for attaining objective of quality wellbeing will appear nil. Eisenberger etal. (2016) advocated health educator's opinion of the college obligation to them in a period of outbreak of infectious diseases as alleged college sustenance based on health educators' attitudes about the degree to which the colleges of education appreciate their assistance and are bothered about their protection against viruses . Health educators who recognized an elevated extent of colleges of education sustenance are further prone to consider an commitment to "pay back" the colleges , based on job commitment and connected behaviour .
The Nigerian Labour Congress (2012) noted that despite actions taken by Delta state government; the protection condition in Deltans persists to be bad in areas such as COVID 19 . Mental agreements are the shared attitude, insight, and unceremonious requirements between colleges of education authorities and health educators (Mullins, 2017). Good mental agreements boast inherent and extrinsic inspiration of health educators. Furthermore, mental agreement boost ranges of job results protection, contentment, accountability and welldesigned suppleness (Robbins & Judge, 2019) elevated threat of receiving the disease and the basis of spread in the neighborhood. Some of the teachers are uninformed of the necessary data on the virus with many of them holding persistently to numerous erroneous beliefs. These misinformation guides to their wrong orientation and often results in wrong decisions. Many of them are exposed to COVID-19 and they do not wash their hands with soap and water, they do not use face masks, not isolated from people Research Questions: To guide study, the following research questions were raised: The theory used in this study was Stufflebeam (1971) Background Contribution Procedure and Results Replica of Assessment. It is a judgment facilitation replica deemed by the investigator to be appropriate to colleges of education. The replica has four major aspects which are background, contribution, procedure, and result assessment. Background Contribution Procedure and Results replica of assessment based on decision-making. It is a structure and macro based replica. The background assessment provides planning assessment by recognising unmet wants, unexploited openings and fundamental dilemmas that thwart the achievement of desires or the utilisation of openings. Contribution assessment provides organising assessment by analyzing option routine plan of workforce. Procedure assessment provides applying assessment by scrutinising commitment .Results assessment provides reprocessing assessment by shaping the extent to which goals have been attaining and shaping the basis of the achieved outcome. In this investigation, the Background Contribution Procedure and Results replica of assessment was utilised to scrutinise influence of covid 19 pandemic on health educators ' job commitment . Abraham Maslow (1943) Hierarchy of Desires. Maslow (1943) hierarchy of desires is a hypothetical theory that illustrated a structure for general existence contentment. Created in a pyramidal form with five stages, Maslow's theory can be perceived as a hierarchy. Maslow's hierarchy of desires started with physiological desires, followed by protection, belongingness, affection, respect and self-actualization desires. Maslow proposed that desires of the lesser stages must be achieved prior to any successive desires can be achieved (Maslow, 1943). He noted that physiological desires such as food, shelter, and water are the lesser stage on the hierarchy. He further noted that these desires are fundamental for continued existence and are the necessary structure for additional contentment stages. Utilizing Maslow's theory entrance to wellbeing would both please the physiological desires that a health educators would desire to advance to protection stage. Protection desires are at the hub of the human strength. Maslow (1943) proposed that health educators could be deemed to be in a steady condition of searching for protection. Maslow's protection desires could be linked with health educators feeling of protection against COVID 19 pandemic.

Difference on Influence of COVID 19 Pandemic on Health educators' Job Commitment.
Numerous job stressors guides health teachers to detached from the job which as well negatively influence students' academic performance (Steinhardt, Smith Jaggers, Faulk, & Gloria, 2011).
In an exploration, American Center for Disease Control (2020) established that simple hand hygiene when performed well reduces COVID 19 pandemic among health educators . In a related examination, Sutcher, Darling-Hammond and Carver-Thomas (2016) established that job nuisance, mainly transferable viruses was the major reason why health educators eagerly stop teaching job. In a related inquest, Peters and Waterman (2013) instituted that there was significant association between infectious diseases control and exploitation of prevention and among health workers. In a comparable discovery, Hanmore, Maclaine, Garin, Alonso, Leroy and Ruff (2013) found that organised infectious diseases control actions covered extensively from succeeding morbidity and death, prevention of diseases to enhancing a cost well-organised healthcare.

Difference on Influence of Utilisation of Prevention Against COVID 19 Pandemic on Health Teachers ' Job Commitment.
In a further inquisition, National HIV Sero-Prevalence Sentinel Survey (2003) established that health educators do not employ sufficient preventions devices to ensure that they are not infected by virus. In a comparable investigation, Lee, Park, Chung, Lee, Kang, and Lee (2014) instituted that hand hygiene with appropriate instrument significantly relate with infectious diseases control among health educators .
In an additional inquiry , Iliyasu, Dayyab, Habib, Tiamiyu, Abubakar, Mijinyawa and Habib (2020) found that health educators were more well-informed of the certainty that hand hygiene is the most efficient technique of infectious disease control. They additionally established that avoiding reusing needles, use of protection devices and hand hygiene capably control infectious disease among health educators . In an alike inquest, Kampf , Löffler and Gastmeier (2009) ascertained that improved compliance in hand hygiene with normal alcohol-based sanitiser can reduce the virus infection by 40%. In a related search, The World Health Organisation (2020) found that over 80% of Covid-19 patients have little awareness of their infection of COVId 19 pandemic. 20% of infected health workers had a cruel infirmity such as smallness of inhalation, contaminated distress and organ breakdown. It was reported that an anticipated 2% of cases can be fatal.

Difference on Influence of College Support on the Utilisation of Prevention Against COVID 19 Pandemic on Health educators Job Commitment.
Colleges of education support are the extent to which health educators consider that their colleges will support them in the provision and utilisation of prevention against COVID 19 pandemic. Numerous issues might persuade health educators' remaining in teaching. They are College administrator's support, protection, inadequate utilisation of prevention measures, classroom' administration and autonomy (Mee & Haverback, Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.12, No.18, 2021 71 2014). In an investigation, Sutcher et al. (2016) established that administrative support, students' actions , inadequate decision-making power, and insufficient use of preventive measures against communicable diseases , influence negative teachers job commitment. In a similar study , Boe, Cook and Sunderland (2008) found that inadequate use of prevention against infectious disease by health educators made many of them to quit teaching . In an inquiry, Ingersoll (2014) found that most health educators departed teaching due to job displeasure as they preferred enhanced jobs, use of prevention and other openings. In a related investigation, Margolis (2008) observed that certain group's health educators who are at a crisis in teaching are deeply persuaded by the support from their college administrators. In an exploration, Greenlee and Brown (2009) instituted that the college of education administrator's ability of efficiently structuring the wellbeing of their health educators to be committed in teaching was low.
Inadequate support by colleges of education administrators on protections against infectious diseases enhanced negatively health educators job commitment (Sass, Seal & Martin, 2010), 2010). Greenlee and Brown (2009) noted that colleges of education administrators should provide job requirement of their teachers to progress their job performance and commitment. In an investigation Shaw and Newton (2014) found that there was a significant and positive relationship between the level that health educators alleged colleges of education administrators and their personal job contentment.
In an investigation, Mathieu and Zajac (2010) found that Colleges of education were committed to the provision and use of preventions against infectious diseases for health educators. In a similar study, Mottaz (2018) found that there was a significant and positive association between alleged College support in the provision and use of preventions against infectious diseases and health educator's job commitment. Eisenberger, Huntington, Hutchison and Sava (2016) establish that health educators exchange ommitment to the Colleges of education for greater care, concern, and support from the colleges. These findings raise questions about the role of the colleges in terms of what the colleges should provide to health educators. Colleges of education support are an important factor with respect to health educator's behaviour. In their studies, they establish that there is a positive correlation between Colleges of education support and health educators' job commitment. In an investigation, Hawkins (2018) established that colleges commitment of health educators is clarified by alleged equality and College support. In a similar exploration, O"Reilly and Chatman (2014) established that it is not likely to establish decisively if alleged College support persuade the discrepancy of outcome.

Difference on Influence of the Level of Awareness of Utilisation of Preventions Against COVID 19
Pandemic on Health educators' Job Commitment. The health educators acquires awareness, approaches, beliefs and practice on preventive measures against infectious diseases (Imogie , 2019) . Health institutions and scientists have cautioned that prevalent propaganda on COVID-19 is a grave issue causing intolerance globally. Health educators should cautiously appraise COVID-19 connected data and should utilize logical and genuine content as data basis (Shimizu 2020). This apparent lack of knowledge could result in delays in the implementation of necessary confinement measures and personal protective equipment, which may increase the burden of COVID-19. In a study, Bamigboye and Adesanya (2006) affirmed that there was elevated height of awareness among health educators. 77%, of health educators , 61%, with just 18.9% of the health educators observed that worldwide infectious diseases protection devices featured in their teaching. In a comparable investigation, Gadzama, Bawa, Ajinoma, Saidu and Umar (2014) recognised that there was discrepancy among health workers in terms of level of awareness of infectious diseases multiplication, management , acceptance and application by health educators . In a comparable inquiry, Ogoina , Pondei, Chima , Isichei and Gidado (2015) found that there was a significant difference in the level awareness of infectious diseases prevention based on their grade level and job experience of health educators . In a akin inquest, In a similar investigation, Abdullah and Allen (2016) discovered that that health educators had insufficient awareness and approaches towards infectious diseases management. In an alike study, Bhagavathula, Aldhaleei, Rahmani, Mahabadi, Bandari (2020) found that 276 health educators who were respondents (61.0%) had insufficient awareness level of broadening and signs ; 288 respondents (63.6%) have high level of awareness of Covid-19. Additional discovery showed that age of health educators significantly relate with their level of awareness of Covid-19 pandemic and prevention measures.
In a similar study, Giao Thi, Han, Khanh3, Ngan, Tam and An (2020) found that level of awareness and advancement towards Covid-19 among health educators was low. In another examination, Egwuenu and Okanlawon (2014) ascertained that health educators in the investigation had awareness of infectious diseases management, but not totally replicated in the level of their awareness' of diseases preventions. Most of them were aware that washing of hands with soap and water (97.8%), wearing of hand gloves (99.1) and sterilising reusable devices (95.2%) could control infectious diseases among health educators Journal of Education and Practice www.iiste.org ISSN 2222-1735 (Paper) ISSN 2222-288X (Online) Vol.12, No.18, 2021

Difference on Influence of Level of Utilisation of Preventions Against COVID 19 Pandemic on Health educators' Job Commitment.
In an assessment, Reber , Wallin and Duhon (2013) discovered that utilisation of prevention significantly relate with control of infectious diseases among health workers in the state of New York. In an inquest, Tucker and Phillips (1999) found that females' health educators conform further with overall protections devices, than their male equal. In a related inquest, Murni, Duke, Kinney, Daley and Soenarto (2015) established that there was a reduction in level of utilisation of preventions by 22% following the achievement of a wide-ranging infectious diseases management. In a similar exploration, Okechukwu and Modteshi (2012) discovered that insufficient preventions equipment , excessive workload and time restraint were concern influencing negatively the utilisation of preventions against infectious diseases among health workers in Nigeria.
