Two hundred and thirty teachers were sampled from public senior secondary schools in Kosofe local government area of Lagos. Teachers’ perception on the applicability of Mastery Learning (TPABML) was designed by the researcher to measure teachers perception, the instrument was validated with reliability index of 0.74. Data collected was analysed using mean score, percentages and independent t-test of significance. Findings showed on the whole, teachers’ perception does not favour the use of blooms mastery in public senior secondary. Result also showed significant difference between teachers with post-graduate qualification and teachers with Bachelor degree, but no significant difference was found based on teachers’ experience.
