Journal of Emerging Trends in Educational Research and Policy Studies (JETERAPS) (Vol 1 No 1)
| Abstract: Nigeria adopted education as an instrument for national development. After hundred years of existence, Nigeria has made less than impressive progress in economic development. It has blamed the poor performance of its educational system, in meeting the national development goals, on the inherited colonial type of education. A good number of educational reforms have taken place and Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has been recognized as a key player in achieving the much needed aspiration of the nation. However, it has not been accorded the appropriate attention, so as, for it to play its role in national development. The purpose of this study therefore is to examine the development needs of Nigeria and the need for functional education system particularly TVET. It examines the foundation of TVET in Nigeria, what has been done so far concerning TVET, the challenges of TVET; and then proposes how to strengthen TVET to play its role in transforming the Nigerian State. |
