Conceptual Model on the Implementation of Technical and Vocational Education in Nigeria

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a model that predicts the implementation of technical and vocational education (TVE) in Nigeria. It examines the relationships among the variables associated with barriers and issues of implementation of TVE towards the production of competent graduates for economic and national development. Hypothesized Multivariate model was tested using structural equation modeling (SEM) to statistically analyze the variables under the study. The result of the model was found to comply with a good statistical fit. Four factors out of five were found to predict the implementation of TVE in Nigeria, these comprises of teaching methods, learning skills, employability skills and technical skills.
