CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF STUDY
According to
Akenbi (2000) vocational education is the acquisition of basic skills, which
enable an individual to be gainfully employed in any sectors of the economy.
For any country to obtain any level of development, vocational education must
be put into consideration. Western education started in Nigeria when the
Christian Missionaries came. During this period, they were mostly interested in
teaching the word of God, converting souls and preaching the gospel. Some
people were not able to fellowship, some could not walk, see or hear,
therefore, they were taught how to make basket and this occupied them, aids
were given to them, active/alive and to make them feel at home.
Before the
arrival of the missionary, vocational training had started at home, children
helping their mothers to cook, boys helping their father at farm. The colonial
administration participated in vocational/technical education given as a
separate plan outside that vocational education involves such field as
agricultural education, business education, marketing or distributive
education, trade and industrial education. Vocational education comprises of
vocational and technical training, which is given in schools a class under
public supervision and control. The development of skills is perhaps the
foundation on which vocation education is laid the assertion has been authorize
to the unanimous agreement of the three groups sample to the fact that
vocational education is designed to develop skills abilities understanding and
attitude of individuals. This agrees with the definition of committee on
research and publication of American vocation association (1954). The primary
purpose of embarking on skill development is to enable someone to do some work.
Olatain
(1984) says vocational education refers to systematic learning experience,
which are designed to enable individuals for gainful employment in recognized
occupation as semi skilled workers or technical or professionals. It equally
included guidance and counselling in connecting with training and other
instruction directly related through an occupation. The benefits derives from
various vocational education cannot be over emphasized. It is the pride of the
nation to develop more vocational education in order to activate maximum
technologically.
Thorp et al
(1930) in their reports they expressed the view that the aim and objective of
vocational education are as follows;
a. The aim
of technical education must be to provide or the requirements of industry,
commerce and society and to adjust itself to the changing needs of the
territory. The curriculum and organization must be adopted to meet national and
local demands and must not adhere to firm and immutable forms.
b. Large
number of men and women engaged in industry and commerce and in professional
and auxiliary, occupation lack the specialized knowledge and training which
would allow them to be efficient in their vocation and fit to accept greater
responsibility, the course must be arranged so they can improve their knowledge
and efficiency while continuing employment.
c. Special
attention must be given to the training of teachers and personnel and for
institutions engaged into training of teachers particularly for secondary
schools and technical institutions and for institutions engaged in the training
of primary school teachers also for person engaged in social activities such as
youth and community center work or in community development generally.
