ACHIEVING QUALITY IN THE TEACHING AND EXAMINATION OF VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

ABSTRACT
The vital role of vocational and technical education in the production of skilled and competent manpower for economic, industrial and social development cannot be achieved if an efficient and effective teaching and examination is not maintained. Therefore, this project examines the objectives of vocational and technical education, factors militating against quality teaching and examination of vocational and technical education, quality assurance in the teaching and examination of vocational and technical education as well as the methods of teaching vocational subjects. It was concluded that for quality teaching in vocational education to take place, all hands must be on deck. Recommendations were also made to improve the quality of teaching and examination of vocational technical education.
