ROLE OF BUSINESS EDUCATION IN ACHIEVING ENTREPRENEURSHIP PROGRAMME

Abstract

This paper examines the role of Business Education in actualizing entrepreneurship programme. Generally, many of today’s graduates in Business Education lack adequate skills. They often have difficulty in reading, writing and communicating, they are frequently unprepared to work in teams, think critically or solve problems and they may have poor work habits (Killinger,2009). No socio-economic, political and technological development can take place in any country if the citizens are not given quality education. The study adopted secondary source of data collection. The paper concludes that one of the ways out of the present unemployment crisis in this country is business education. Some of the recommendations made include: provision of adequate instructional facilities and equipment as specified by NCCE, and staff development programme to be emphasized to expose business educators to current trends in the field.
