27. VOCATIONAL EDUCATION
It has been said that vocational education and job
training is the missing link in Nigeria’s development
plan. Certainly in rural areas facilities and
motivation are sparse, for what is there afterwards
but a life in fields for most. Those who drift to cities
are fortunate enough to find work at all.

28. VOCATIONAL TRAINING ASSESSMENT
METHODOLOGY

29. TEACHER TRAINING PROGRAM
Colleges of Education award the Nigerian Certificate of Education (NCE) at the end
of a 3-year program. Most NCE-holders seek admission into universities with a view
to obtaining bachelor's degrees in education, the B.Ed., which could increase their
chances of teaching at the senior secondary schools or becoming
headmistresses/headmasters at primary schools. The higher institutions of education
also run sandwich courses to enable the working population further their education or
obtain the qualifications necessary for their present jobs.
