RESETTING VOCATIONAL BUSINESS EDUCATION CURRICULUM PROVISIONS FOR THE REALIZATION OF NATIONAL NEEDS IN NIGERIA

Abstract

This paper examines the need for regular and adequate review of vocational business education curriculum, which serves as a panacea for solving some socio-economic problems in Nigeria among vocational business education graduates. The inadequacy of this programme curriculum has led to an unprecedented increase in unemployment among graduates. This has deprived learners of the opportunity to acquire physical and intellectual skills that enable them to operate maximally and successfully either in self-employment or paid employment. Against this background, this paper examines the concepts of business education, curriculum, and vocational business education curriculum. It explores the need to reset the vocational business education curriculum to address its inadequacies. The paper concludes by recommending that curriculum planners and business educators who are experts in the field should always review the vocational business education curriculum.
