Because the people that make the digital age possible ...that make it work ......are those who underwent vocational and technical education....

It is the technicians who keep the power going, who build and repair your it stuff, etc that keep the digital age going.

A Junior secondary school serves a completely different purpose from a vocational school. The vocational/technical schools should be built separately, not the reverse of converting primary or junior schools to it. We just can't seem to get things right in this country.

Besides, what exactly is the link between vocational skills and the digital age as you claim?

BENUE the wheelbarrow state Sai Ortom! In God we trust

Funnily enough, it was the intention of the 6334 system we practice to give some form of vocational education at JSS level.

I recall back when I was in secondary school, our Introductory Technology teacher in JSS2 lamenting that we could not have practical lessons in woodworking when we were learning about it in our class then because we did not have a woodwork workshop (we learned the theory only).

In my opinion, it would be a good idea to learn some basic vocational skills at JSS level. After all,I did do Agricultural Science at JSS and SSS level...and yes...I went to farm (our Agric Science teacher was too practical minded....if he had the funds..I suspect the guy would have set up a small pilot farm with animals and plants to teach us)..and learned some stuff (and even now have a dream of one day setting up a chicken farm....layers and broilers...to sell eggs and meat)

Those of you shouting incompetent fool...
Lemme ask you a question

How many unemployed graduate do we have today in our streets

the unemployment rate is very high.

And you are here calling this an UNWELCOMED development...

Infact I wish the Nigerian government can learn from Benue state government


And you'll see the achievements in the long-run

#I believe In Nigeria

This is a fantastic idea actually. I hope other states follow suit in converting SOME schools to vocational schools.

Why always Benue

Who keeps the power that you need to keep your PC running, and repairs your computer when it breaks down, and puts all your IT stuff together, maintains the servers, repairs and fixes your generator, keeps the power plants running smoothly, etc, etc ,etc...

Who made the chair and desk that you sit on to type all that stuff you are writing, the transmitters and satellites that keep the internet running, the Android phone that you use sometimes to browse and make calls, and even the buildings that you are sitting down to type your stuff in?Your air-conditioner? Fan?

Chances are it is someone who had vocational and technical education.

I am with you bro

islandmoon:
now , that is education system that will be useful for participants , they will be more independent than most university graduates still waiting for government to give them job , real skill.

You certainly don't live in Nigeria, am guessing, but if you do then you are more advanced and smarter than an average Nigerian.

Am interested in your marine corrosionist job , I can imagine what that is, but can you tell me more what you do?

Yes, the 6334 system intended for vocational studies to supplement the formal education and I think that's the way it should be. One shouldn't replace the other else there is the danger of key skills becoming obsolete.

Lol @ your agricultural teacher!
For me, we had to do practicals as part of Agric science, each person had a very tiny plot of allocated space to plant and groom which made it real. I think that's the way education should be - balanced.

What's stopping you from pursuing your dream?

Ever8054:
your comment has just betray you,as been more primitive than Benue state..

Your written English is even more primitive than Benue state.

the marine corrosion control job stopped when this administration came to power, I lost my job at GSL, we used to do repairs for Shell, maintenance of pontoon, and other floating equipment, to be honest with you, things are very rough, I currently make more than 1,200 daily on a petty business now.

Now I know where your exposure came from, you have probably mingled with a lot of expatriates who has no degree yet has so much to offer in terms of skills.

Well, buhari or anyone can't take away your experience and knowledge. So keep you head high. There is demand for your skill in western world so some day you will use it. I know this cause am a sailor.
