Lagos State Government, through the State Technical and Vocational Education Board, LASTVEB, is to introduce technical and vocational education to primary and junior secondary schools.

Speaking at the ministerial briefing to mark the second anniversary of the second term in office of Governor Babatunde Fashola, Commissioner for Education, Mrs. Olayinka Oladunjoye, said the decision was taken to increase the awareness on the importance of technical and vocational education, which she said was the answer to employment challenges.

She said: "We want to provide them with skills that are relevant and necessary in their future careers and occupations. To this end, an enhanced TVE framework for basic education curriculum will address the critical needs of Lagos State."

She said five business clinics had been established in each technical college to create competitive business environment and enhance the quality of graduates from the colleges.

Oladunjoye said: "The business clinics diagnose business problems for the students, organise workshops and trainings for intending student entrepreneurs and link them up with micro-finance banks.

"City & Guilds of London has approved GTC Ikorodu to offer City & Guilds international exams in engineering and construction trades. This would afford the students an international certification and further exposure to global employment opportunities."
