| Abstract: This paper reviews the present Technical Education in Nigeria and identifies its non-relevance to the demands of Information Economy skills in Business, Education and Government. The rigid structure and akaic CONTENT of the Education system in Nigeria need to be urgently reviewed and reformed. Besides, technology infrastructure, IT skills are almost non-existent. And for us to catch the moving Technology train and bridge the Education gap, a surgical or a break away from the past Attitude / Mindset must be initiated. It is concluded that Technical Education for-all-policy must be implemented and also to include continuing teacher education and reward system (STEMS Strategy) Sectorial Skill Analysis requirements must be carried out by the Manpower Board to guide admissions requirements into Secondary/Tertiary institutions. This is the only way we can meet the demands of the Information/Knowledge economy in the 21st century. |
