1.
Equal
treatment of technical vocational students to that of the university such as,
the pay disparity and recognitions seen in employee of some of the so called ‘expatiates engineers”
who unimaginable amount of
dollars to build our roads, bridges and
buildings in Nigeria are mostly graduates
of technical /vocational schools.
2.
It has been well documented that Nigeria ‘s in
higher institution lack tools to give students the skill employers need
therefore ether should be some form of genuine school work based learning
incorporated in some studies as part of
the national economic development
strategies. Thank God for the newly
introduced entrepreneur problem in schools
3.
To critically
reduce unemployment and poverty government should improve funding to some
critical section and increase
access to technical and vocational
education for the ever –growing youth and active refereed
groups. Lack of funding for TVE
and lack of qualified teachers should be reviewed upwards seriously in Nigeria
4.
A more proactive
curricular for TVE programme
should be designed to met the present need of technical and vocational manpower needed in Nigeria by fortifying the NBTE, ITF, National Directorate
of Employment (NDE) should be well funded to meet up their stipulated mandate
5.
to improve worker welfare the Nigeria Labor congress
(NLC) and other affiliated should
established technical and vocational training centres in the local government areas where the
workers could acquires some employability skills. In today’s knowledge –derived and crisis -ridden global economy one of the ways to spur the economy is to empowered the people
to tackle the development challenges facing the nation. The
unions, including the academic staff union of polytechnics (ASUP), should push for increased funding for technical
education as part of the current
economic reform programs. Calling
out the workers for industrial actions is not the only way to fight for their
welfare
6.
the design of Nigeria’ educational system is flawed. The neglect of
technical education is an obstacle to national development not every one needs
a university education/. In Nigeria technical degrees are regarded as inferior
to regular academic degrees. But in
advanced nations those with technical
degrees are highly regarded. Individuals with years of field experience work in tandem with those
with academic degrees. In fact, the worth of every worker depends on the persons
skills and knowledge, and not on the
stack of academic degrees one has. Nigeria
must learn to lend theory and
practice in its education because theories alone cannot serve any useful
purpose. The nations
technical schools should be brought
to international standard by employing teachers with field experience in the subject areas and
experienced and professional administrators to
run technical institutions. As
obtained in the developed nations the
technical graduates should be thoroughly certified before they could
work as technicians.
