It further examined the implementation of technical or Industrial Technology Education policies and challenges against effective implementation of technical or Industrial Technology Education policy in Nigeria. The authors conclude that the various technical or Industrial Technology Education policies in Nigeria have been well formulated to meet contemporary labour market demands in this technological age but the problem lies largely with the implementation. The authors recommended, among others, that senior academics in the Industrial Technology Education sub-sector should be more actively involved in Industrial Technology Education policy making and implementation in Nigeria. Also, the federal and state ministries of education should take a holistic approach to improve their Industrial Technology Education policy implementation efforts.","PeriodicalId":474385,"journal":{"name":"Integrity Journal of Education and Training","volume":"294 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135827167","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Ekim","doi":"10.31248/ijet2022.170","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31248/ijet2022.170","url":null,"abstract":"Importance of Girl-Child education has become a frontline issue in many discourses held globally in recent times. The premium placed on the Girl-Child’s education is a result of several awareness/enlightenment campaigns on the need for the Girl-Child to assume her rightful place in society. The illiteracy of the Girl-Child has chain effects on the family; which is the primary agent of socialization and the society in general. For social development to be rightly positioned in Nigeria and to result in the overall development of the nation, the Girl-Child must become an active player in the society. The paper concludes that the Girl-Child having been denied education due to a lot of reasons surrounding her sex must be given educational opportunities like her male counterparts to enable her fulfill her potentials as a member of the Nigerian society in line with the Child Right’s Act of 2003 and recommends amongst others that early marriages and other cultural practices which denies the Girl-Child her right to education should be eradicated for optimum growth of the female child through education.","PeriodicalId":474385,"journal":{"name":"Integrity Journal of Education and Training","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-02-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135827166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
