CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The
national policy on education defined education as a process through
which a society attains changes: economically and otherwise usually for
the better.
Looking at education as we have it today one can see that
we have attained social and cultural changes, but economically we are,
we no where. Thus the Western education tended to ignore our traditional
education whose main guiding principle was functionalism or “Jon
oriented emphasisâ€. It also combined physical training with character
building and manual activity with intellectual training. These have
persisted till date.
Education as an instrument of change should
serve as an aid to the solution of societal problems. But it would
appear that after all, western education has not the magic that it is
supposed to have in solving our economic problems than it created. It
has so far enabled us to achieve political independence yet such social
problems like stealing, cheating, gross indiscipline etc with the
outcome of unemployment and under-employment, the school dropouts, the
never do wells and the like. All are products of our present system of
education instead of forming the base for our technological development
after 49 years of independence, the country is still a consumer oriented
economy instead of production oriented economy.
India and China
(countries thought to be in the third world) are enjoying their present
economic status today’s because their education was and still is
vocational oriented.
According to Philip Stoke Commission (1922)
education as applied in Africa had been too literary and two classical
to be useful, that at the end of the school courses, the school leaves
were not fit to meet any of employed as clerks. He also said that there
had been over production of those who can read and write undersupply of
those who can till and repair.
According to hi the first step in
adapting education to the needs of the society was to realize that
Africans live both in urban and rural areas and so need agriculture for
the urbans.
One can see from the above that the importance of
education is its position as an instrument of change and development.
This gave rise to the educational research going through a phase of
great expansion and more so today it is the centre of educators and
politicians (during the days of politics) themselves to involve a system
that will clear itself some authorities then suggest that recourse
could be taken to “Vocational educationâ€
