entrepreneurship education at this level was reviewed. Major challenges
confronting schools are also reviewed. Some of these challenges include
inadequate sufficient and skilled manpower, hasty preparations by
government and lack of practical facilities. Strategies for ameliorating the
challenges were also discussed. These include, among others, relevant
teachers should be committed and adopt social constructivist approach to
teaching and learning of entrepreneurship education. It was recommended
that Government of Nigeria should allow foreign investors into the country

entrepreneurship to serve as skill acquisition centers for the youths.
