This paper considered the current status and challenges of Teacher's Group Meeting (TGM) in Zambian in-service training system, so-called SPRINT (School Programme of Inservice for the Term) by means of analysing the teachers' responses to the questionnaires, published reports and documents on SPRINT, and records on TGM kept by a school surveyed through the field research conducted from February 26th to March 14th, 2008.

As the result, the current status of TGM was categorized into four including the expected status of TGM in the future by analysing based on the perspectives of Intended, Implemented and Attained TGM by teachers. In addition, enhancing leadership of head teachers, realizing teachers' learning in TGM, and changing teachers' consciousness through sharing and applying their learning were derived as the challenges toward improving the status of TGM.

The significance of this research is that information and its analysis through such field research may show us the way of grasping the reality of the process of teachers' growth in developing countries, which has not been examined enough.
