Provision of Adequate Workshop Tools and Equipment for Training in Technology Education Institutions Towards the Realization of the Goals of National Economic Empowerment Development Strategy (NEEDS)

Abstract

It is evident enough that workshops in technology education institutions in Nigeria lack adequate tools equipment and machineries for practical. This results in the production of half-baked graduates who are not productive and cannot fit into the world of work. This paper stresses the need for provision of adequate workshop tools and equipment for training in technology education institutions towards the realization of the goals of National Economic Empowerment Development Strategy (NEEDS). It also highlights the concept of technology education, importance of workshop tools and equipment in technology education and the problems of inadequate supply of workshop tools and equipment in technology education institutions. Conclusions are drawn and recommendations made in order to generate funds for the procurement of tools and equipment in the workshops of our technology education institutions.
