Shortage of qualified personnel is a very serious problem in vocational and technical education in Nigeria. The need for technical manpower in the present stage of development is very important as one strive towards being a self reliant nation, no meaningful development can take place without a conscious effort to develop manpower. Most of the graduates from our numerous vocational and technical institutions do not like to teach, they prefer to work in the industry, and those who are ready to teach are most of the time not employed and so they become unemployed.
The effects of this is that some vocational subjects are not offered in schools, while
some are offered and taught by unqualified teachers, for example, teaching of home economic by English teacher, this can greatly affect the quality of teaching and examination of the students (Akamobi, 2005).
