Abstract

Technical and Vocational Education and training (TVET) curriculum implementation in Nigeria has continue to suffer with so many number of challenges, as a result of constraints. The industrial and economics development in the country remain stagnant. This paper stressed on technical and vocational education and training (TVET) curriculum implementation: a solution to the national dwindling economics. The paper highlighted the important of TVET and national development, the status of TVET curriculum implementation in Nigeria and monitoring TVET curriculum implementation for economics development. It was concluded that if Nigeria must be out of dwindling economics, TVET curriculum implementation must be effective through ensuring total overhauling of government commitment in the provision of all the required input facilities as well as improve budgetary allocation. It was recommended that government should re-emphasize on compulsory inter-linkages between institutions implementing TVET curriculum and relevant industrial sectors in orders to assist learner with both theory and practical skills needed for effective enterprising after graduation and develop a special strategy on how to motivate highly rated performing TVET teacher and student for achieving maximum input and output during the curriculum implementation.
