PARAMETERS IN BENCHMARKING TECHNICAL COLLEGES FOR QUALITY EDUCATIONAL GOALS IN NIGERIA
Journal Title: Educational Research International - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 3
Abstract
Technical colleges are built and equipped across the country to provide training to students on different courses and trades. The knowledge and skills acquired from technical college programmes would enable the students to function well in society. Benchmarking plays remarkable role in setting standards for best practices in learning and achievement. The established parameters for benchmarking technical colleges for quality educational goals include: quality learning environment, quality technique for skill acquisition, quality practical training, quality curriculum and quality facilities. The standard in technical colleges must be maintained in Nigeria for effective achievement of technical and vocational education goals. The programme of technical and vocational education need be reengineered to reflect the benchmarks set by the regulatory agencies. Recommendations are offered to guide in benchmarking technical colleges in Nigeria for quality educational goals.
