@article{MUSA_ALIYU_2022, title={Effective Implementation of Entrepreneurship Education Curriculum in Nigeria Senior Secondary Schools for Job Creation and Sustainable Development}, volume={6}, url={https://journals.iapaar.com/index.php/pje/article/view/87}, abstractNote={<p>The introduction of a new curriculum with different trade subjects which provides students with<br>opportunity to choose only one trade based on their interest, is an innovation in senior secondary<br>education towards achieving sustainable development goals by the target date of 2030. This<br>decision is of great importance to provide students with skills and functional education for<br>secondary school graduates especially at the period when emphasis is placed on job creation and<br>economic development for sustainability of the nation. The unprecedented rate of unemployment<br>among secondary school leavers, tertiary education graduates, undue emphasis on possession of<br>certificate; poor implementation of the new curriculum and progress evaluation merit serious<br>consideration and the attention of educational managers to act urgently for proper implementation<br>of the giant programme envisaged in the national curriculum of secondary education. This paper<br>discusses how entrepreneurship education in senior secondary schools can be a veritable tool for<br>developing adaptive skills and competences for job creation and sustainable development in<br>Nigeria if effectively implemented. The paper also highlighted some factors hindering effective<br>implementation of the programme and established that, restructuring entrepreneurship education<br>from senior secondary school to tertiary level will provide the knowledge and skills needed to<br>promote job creation and sustainable development in Nigeria. The study recommended among<br>others, for restructuring of entrepreneurship education curriculum from senior secondary school<br>to tertiary level in Nigeria and that trade subjects offered in secondary schools should be used as<br>one of the core subjects for admission into higher institutions in a related course of study.</p>}, number={1}, journal={PREMIER JOURNAL OF EDUCATION}, author={MUSA, Hazrat Maimuna and ALIYU, Rakiya Oiza}, year={2022}, month={Sep.}, pages={22–32} }
