PREFACE
1. Work in harmony
At the senior secondary school level, the student will be faced with
the final decision about continuing his formal education after
secondary school or going to work if the decision has not been
taken. If he has already made the decision to continue schooling, he
should decide at the end of the second or third year in senior
secondary school which post-secondary institution he intends to go
and for what purpose. For example: university, polytechnic, college
of education, school of agriculture, school of forestry, nursing school
etc.
If the society is not to be plagued by a brood of disgruntled,
frustrated and unrealistic individuals, secondary school student
should be exposed to available opportunities and social expectations
in the country through career guidance and counselling. It will
enable the country to identify her talented youths and nurture them
to the optimal level of social, educational and economic
development. Guiding young people to pursue the right type of
education in which there is no over-production of certain manpower
needs and underproduction of the other aspects of the manpower
needs is a sure process of building a prosperous and advanced
country.
The idea behind the skill acquisition and job training programme is
to foster trade and promote ingenuity among the studentship. A
particular trade or skill will help the student become financially
independent, should the child have no means of furthering his/her
education.
The skill acquisition training is a practical-oriented programme that
will enable the student to think locally and act globally. Areas that
will be covered in this section include the following:
