dc.description.abstractABSTRACT The aim of this study was to identify the important resources needed for VTE programme, assess the adequacy of available resources in the Technical Colleges and identify factors affecting academic performance in the colleges, obtain a situational report and make recommendations to improve the skills and academic standard of VTE programme in the Technical Colleges in Delta State. All the six government owned Technical Colleges in Delta State were involved in this study. Out of the 327 population within these schools, 251 were used. This number was made up of 174 Vocational final year students, 62 VTE Subject Teachers and 15 Administrators. These variables formed the three groups of respondents that answered the same questionnaire directly administered by the researcher. Four research questions raised were answered and the four Null Hypothesis formulated were tested at 0.05 level of significance. ANOVA was the major statistical tool used to analyse the data. The study identified ten important resources needed for the VTE programme in the Technical Colleges. The study also revealed that the most important resources are inadequate in the colleges. It was revealed in this study of the poor academic performance of the colleges in NABTEB's examinations due mainly to lack of important resources, poor attitude to work by Teachers, lack of supervision and poor academic background of students. It was found that student enrolment was dwindling in the colleges due mainly to the refusal of Secondary School Principals to release JSS III graduates for Technical Colleges. Scarcity of VTE Teachers was attributed to poor condition of service of Teachers, better remunerations in other sectors of the economy and embargo on employment by the State government. The study also revealed that the public still perceive Technical Education as meant for drop-outs from the secondary schools. The study also revealed that the colleges do not have P..T.A. It was found that workshop practice is very irregular in the colleges due mainly to lack of electricity supply, consumable materials and equipment. The study also found that there were abandoned Steel Workshops numbering over eight, uncompleted in each of the Technical Colleges. Based on some of these findings, it was recommended among others that the State Ministry of Education should complete the abandoned steel workshops and provide the essential resources that are lacking in the colleges. The colleges to form P.T. A., run JSS pre-vocational programme and principals of secondary schools to release JSS III graduates who are interested in Technical Education. It was also recommended that stand-by Generators be supplied to the colleges as a supplement to NEPA. The condition of service of Teachers should also be made attractive. Finally, it was suggested that further scientific investigations be conducted on any other areas not covered by this study.en_US
