Abstract

The construct of this paper is to ascertain the attendant problems prevalent in the training patterns of vocational and technical education teachers in our various training institutions in the country, and its consequences in the teaching or impacting of knowledge by these trained personnel to the young ones in the post-primary schools across the state and beyond. It also suggested remedies for overcoming the bottlenecks usually encountered during the training process and made work-man-like recommendations for its rapid development.

 

Key words: Vocational training programme, education in Nigeria.
