Abstract

The study was conducted to ascertain the perception of teachers on hurdles impeding students’ enrolment in technical colleges in Rivers State, Nigeria. Descriptive research design was adopted for this study having a population of 80 technical college teachers randomly selected from the five technical colleges in Rivers State. Two research questions guided the study. A 20-item questionnaire titled “Perception of Teachers on Low Students’ Enrolment Questionnaire (PTLSEQ)” was used for data collection. The instrument was face and content validated by two experts in technical education from Rivers State University, Port Harcourt and one expert in measurement and evaluation from Ignatius Ajuru University of Education, Port Harcourt. The reliability coefficient of the instrument was obtained as 0.89 via Cronbach’s Alpha method. Mean and standard deviation were used to analyze the data gathered from the respondents. The findings of the study revealed among others that poor public perception of vocational technical education, lack of motivation, inadequate infrastructure among others are responsible for low students’ enrolment in technical colleges. From the findings, it was recommended among others that Government should adequately fund technical college programmes to attract prospective students as skills acquisition provides solution for unemployment prevalent in Nigeria.
