INTRODUCTION

Vocational and technical education in Nigeria has a chequered history. Given its humble

beginnings, this aspect of education was misunderstood by educators in the larger society.

Conceptually, educators could hardly differentiate between the terms vocational and technical

education, while society had been led to believe that vocational education is for those who are

incapable of pursuing academic programmes. Against this background, vocational and technical

education has made slow progress from its earliest times to date.

For the purpose of clarity, vocational education is that skill-based programme designed for sub-

professional level education and based on a specific vocation. Technical education, on the other

hand, facilitates the acquisition of practical and applied skills as well as basic scientific

knowledge.

With recent challenges in poultry farmers in the Local Government, and there are quite

numbers of unemployed youths in the local government who are not engaged in any gainful

skills, occupation or activities but moving around the streets and mostly participating in dubious

activities which could result in damaging their future. Its quite heart-touching to let our potential

youth go astray due to the lack of employment.

The Pankshin local government should as a matter of urgency engaged these street

roaming youths to a gainful engagement which could explore them to the occupational world by

enrolment into the Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET). Because skills are

vital for poverty reduction, economic recovery and sustainable development. As a consequence,

policy attention to Technical and Vocational Education Training (TVET). Is not only increasing

nationally but worldwide.
