Abstract
Poverty and unemployment seems ravaging youths in Nigeria despite the
integration of entrepreneurship subjects in various areas in the curriculum
at the senior secondary school (SSS) level. Hence, this study investigated
teachers’ percieved teaching of entrepreneurship subjects in areas of
specialization and strategies for improving their technical competences. The
population consisted of 82 etreprenurship teachers and 30 principals from
30 senior secondary schools (SSS) in Nsukka local Government area of
Enugu state. Questionnaire and interview were used for data collection.
Instrument was face validated and trial tested for reliability giving an index
of 0.86; indicating dependability of the instrument. Data were analysed
using means and standard deviation . Findings reveal that teachers teaching
entrprenurship subjects hasve minimum qualification in a few specfic areas
of specialization. This is reflected on the limited areas of teaching of the
entrepreneurship subjects in the curriculum at the SSS level. The teachers
agree that they teach only six (X =3.63 – 2.93) out of 34 entrepreneurship
subjects. Other findings include six possible strategies for improvement of
the teaching of entrepreneurship subjects. These includes supervision; in-
service training; recriutment of qualified teachers; sponsorship to
conferences, workshops and seminars; organizing business linkage with
the industry among others.The study has implications for teacher
