Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2013 in the subject Pedagogy - School System, Educational and School Politics, , language: English, abstract: Education is a basic human right and considered by many as a tool for national development. However, this tenet has been challenged by several economists, especially by Pritchett (1996). His empirical analysis suggests that many countries, whilst having a large educated population, remain unable to make significant progress. It is also claimed that third world development is sluggish. These findings generate the question: while education increases globally, what exactly is it that hinders a country's progression? There are no short answers, but a major area of concern is the type and quality of education available. Scholars argued that a country needs a well-diversified educational system in order to gain sustainable development. This paper explores the situation in Nigeria for its development by providing technical and vocational education.

This book was released on 2013-06-19 with total page 173 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A perspective in vocational education has been designed to incorporate into one volume, some outstanding papers dealing with current issues, concept, and trends in vocational technical education. Some of the issues discussed in the book include various vocational programmes that are offered in Nigerian secondary and post secondary institutions, management, staffing, as well as trends on students enrollment. The above issues are essential in the training and development of students as well as planning and administration of vocational-technical programmes in secondary and post secondary institutions. A distinctive feature of the book is its blend in theory and practice particularly as related to vocational training and manpower development. Chapters 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, and 18 specifically dealt with programmes, training, technological, and manpower advancement. All concept and terms that are presented in the book are explained and discussed within the simplest framework using updated references. The book can be used widely by both undergraduate and post-graduate students as well as teachers in the secondary and post-secondary institutions. The writing of this book affords me an opportunity to happily express my gratitude to some eminent people that have been used by God for sustained encouragement in my academic career. My long standing thanks go to Professor Michael N. Sugarman (My teacher at University of Akron, Ohio, U.S.A.) whose excellence in conduct, teaching, and researching have (for many years) inspired much of the driving spirit of my work.

This book was released on 2021 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) has a role to play in addressing unemployment and poverty; however, for too long, this sub-sector has been overlooked. Educators and policy makers in Nigeria often view TVET as a sub-sector for those who were incapable of pursuing academic programs; thus, resulting in TVET being viewed as low status by students and the public. In contrast, education and training in the old African society were very functional and met the needs of the society. A review of literature on traditional African education reveals that education in the old African society was vocational in nature. With Nigeria being a former British colony, and the country's education system being one of the lasting legacies of the colonial administration, researchers have observed that Nigeria's adoption of the British elitist education system set the country's educational trajectory on a different path; one in which TVET is perceived poorly. This study examined the continuing influence of colonialism on Nigeria's system of education. The study is a genealogical analysis of the TVET system in Nigeria. The conceptual framework for this study combined Human Capital Theory, Social Theory, and Postcolonial Theory with Foucauldian genealogy to explore the inferior positioning of TVET in Nigeria. Particularly, I explored the historical and discursive construction of TVET in Nigeria, as well as some of the reasons TVET in Nigeria has made slow progress from the time it was formalized to date. I examined specific historical documents on the development of education in Nigeria to identify those discontinuities that have occurred in the emergence of TVET in Nigeria; thus, creating its current reality. I examined how TVET is positioned within policy documents and note that the emphasis on intellectual training and pursuits, according to the colonial ii order at the expense of TVET, positions university education as the only route to building a successful career, thus, resulting in the poor image of TVET as inferior to university education. The study revealed that education policy and practice in Nigeria is dominated primarily by the politics of educational productivity. The most popular policy discussions interpret education as a kind of durable good that is expected to produce graduates who would function well in the labour market. This instrumental value of education in the labour market is based on human capital investment and draws on human capital theory. In addition to the accumulation of human capital, the study revealed education policy and practice appear to focus on the production and reproduction of social class structures, although the 'Third Space' debate in postcolonial theory might encourage the emergence of human agency due to the possibility of resistance and transformation in education policy and practice. The implications of the study for policy, practice, theory and further research, as well as the recommendations arising from it, are discussed.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book assesses the challenges within the Nigerian educational system and provides a concrete plan to revitalize the low-performing system by strengthening high-stakes testing at all levels. In Nigeria, many citizens believe that the solution to the country’s low performance in education is to eliminate high-stakes standardized testing. High-stakes testing refers to applying standardized student achievement tests as a primary mechanism to evaluate students, teachers, and their school’s performance. This book argues that the poor quality of education and low ranking of Nigeria’s educational system is not related to the negative consequences of high-stakes testing, but rather is due to many intrinsic factors. By conducting a comparative analysis of six high-performing education systems worldwide, the book offers a comparative summative evaluation of the educational system and offers recommendations. This book will be of interest to policymakers and scholars in the fields of African education, higher education, quality and global studies, African studies, management and administration, leadership, and professional development studies. Joseph Abiodun Balogun is former Dean and retired Distinguished University Professor at the College of Health Sciences, Chicago State University, USA, Visiting Professor/Program Consultant at the Centre of Excellence in Reproductive Health Innovation, University of Benin, Nigeria, and President/ CEO, Joseph Rehabilitation Center, Tinley Park, Illinois, USA.
