Abstract

Poverty, unemployment and lack of access to quality education, among others, have been responsible for this unprecedented increased restiveness. Entrepreneurship education empower youths technically through entrepreneurship training to cope with the changing times and productivity using their entrepreneurial skills for setting and sustaining enterprises. Issues of youth empowerment, skill development, instructional materials, curriculum content and effective teaching methodologies to curb youth restiveness were conceptualized. The study, which was correlational, was based on three (3) research questions and three (3) null hypotheses. A sample of three hundred and sixty (360) respondents were selected through stratified-random sampling technique. Data was collected through a self-developed questionnaire and analyzed using mean scores, standard deviation and Analysis of Variance. The findings of the study indicated that development of infrastructures and physical facilities, textbooks, staffing, consumables and expendables for practical lessons are adequately available. Curriculum content and methodologies for the effective teaching of entrepreneurship education reflects the course of National Policy of Education in Nigeria and that entrepreneurship education is practical oriented as it motivates students to work as a team which have helped in inculcating entrepreneurial skills successfully. It was recommended among other things that the government via the ministry of education should emphasize on the practical aspect of entrepreneurship education in the curriculum, support schools in the provision of more manpower, facilities and instructional materials needed to ensure that entrepreneurship education will equip and empower students for self-reliance and employment.
