The National Board for Technical Education is a principal organ of Federal Ministry of Education specifically created to handle all aspects of Technical and Vocational Education falling outside University Education. It was established by Act No. 9 of 11th January, 1977.

In addition to providing standardised minimum guide curricula for technical and vocational education and training (TVET), the Board supervises and regulates, through an accreditation process, the programmes offered by technical institutions at secondary and post secondary levels. It is also involved with the funding of Polytechnics owned by the Government of the Federation of Nigeria.

FEC APPROVES SIX-LEVELS NVQF FOR NIGERIA.

The Federal Executive Council (FEC) had, at its meeting of Wednesday April 10, 2013, approved a Six-Level National Vocational Qualification Framework for the country.

In her briefing at the end of the meeting, the Honourable Minister of Education, Prof. Ruqayyatu Ahmed Rufa'i explained that the framework as approved by the Federal Executive Council would recognize and certify skills and vocations outside the school system and place same in the scheme of service.

“What this means is that Nigeria, for the first time, recognizes that skills development can be done within or outside the school system and there are six areas that are being developed in terms of coming from the lowest level to the highest level”, the minister explained.

INSTITUTIONALIZING NATIONAL VOCATIONAL QUALIFICATIONS FRAMEWORK (NVQF) IN NIGERIA

In meeting the skill needs of teeming youth and address ever-rising challenges of unemployment and under-employment, governments in many countries have been compelled to strengthen the link between vocational training institutions and the work-place. This in most cases takes the form of closely involving the industry in developing occupational standards and work-based verification and continuous assessment of trainees and this is part of what we are about to witness today. In this way, it makes vocational skills qualifications more qualitative and relevant to the needs of the society.
