Abstract
This study on the perceptions of the Educational
Administrators, Principal and Teachers about the planning
and implementations of the Introductory Technology
programme was undertaken in order to find out the
perception of the planners and the implementers of the
programme in kaduna state. The various literature
related to the problem were reviewed to provide framework
for the study. Ministry of Education Officials,
Principals and Teachers responded to the questionnaires.
The opinions of these respondents were converted to raw
scores, and frequency and percentage distributions were
used to analyse the data collected. The Anova one way
analysis test was also used to determine whether there
were significant differences in the opinions of
Educational Administrators, Principals and Teachers
regarding the various aspect of the planning and the
implementation of the Introductory Technology Programme
in the junior secondary schools.
It was found that a significant difference exist in
the opinion of Ministry of Education officials,
principals and teachers on the issue of provision of
adequate teaching and learning materials for the JSS
introductory technology programme. Teachers and
Principals pointed out that the materials supplied to the
school were not adequate while the Ministry of Education
Officials argued that the supply was adequate, the
respondents also disagreed on the issue of funding. Both
teachers and principals said that adequate funds were
not provided to the schools while the Ministry of
Eduction Officials argued that enough funds were provided
to the schools for the JSS introductory technology
programme, on the three groups of respondent agreed that
well qualified technical teachers were not available in
the schools. On the planning and the implementation of
the Junior secondary school programme, both principals
and teachers stated that the planning and implementation
of the programme are not good enough while the ministry
of education officials argued that the planning and
implementation are adequate.
It was recommended that the state government should
develop other strategies for raising fund such as through
endowments, education rates, levies and surcharge on
profits from industries. More workshops and workrooms
should be provided to the schools and well qualified
technical teachers should be posted to the schools to
teach the course. The JSS introductory technology
programme is a very important programme and if well
implemented would lead to faster development of science
and technology, in the state
