Dr. Asanga pointed out several challenges affecting technical education in Nigeria, including the perception of TVET programmes by industries, enterprises, and communities, as well as a lack of funding and support.
He emphasized the need for appropriate legislation, capacity building for technical education teachers, adequate funding, and the establishment of more technical colleges to enhance TVET and other technical education programmes.
“TVET has the potential to provide the needed nexus between education and unemployment which is the destination in today’s innovation-driven economy,” Dr. Asanga stated.
However, he noted a decline in performance compared to the previous year and reported that 349 candidates were involved in examination malpractice.
Dr. Asanga expressed concern over the impact of malpractice, stating that it undermines the trust of educators and policymakers and deprives students of the opportunity to develop critical thinking, problem-solving, and lifelong learning skills.
“NABTEB has a mandate to conduct examinations and perform skill-based assessments, leading to the award of Business, Vocational and Technical Certificates at both the Ordinary and Advanced levels,” he concluded.
