ROLE OF BUSINESS STUDIES IN ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IN ENTREPRENEURAL CURRICULUM

In Nigeria, Junior Secondary curriculum provides both the academic and pre-vocational subjects. The focus of secondary education at the junior level targets the realization of the following road goals:

 

• to offer diversified curriculum to cater for the difference in talents, opportunities and future roles;
• to provide trained man power in the applied sciences and technology and commerce at sub-professional grades;
• to inspire students with desire for self-employment and achievement of excellence; and
• to provide technical knowledge and vocational skills necessary for agricultural, industrial, commercial and economic development (curled from FRN 2004; 18-19)

 

The above goal statement had guided the effort toward the development of new curricula for junior secondary education by the Nigeria Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) in the pre-vocational subjects which includes Agriculture, Business Studies, Home Economics, Computer Education, Fine Arts and Music (FRN 2004 ; 20). The Basic Educational Curriculum for business studies for junior secondary 1-3 states that the general objectives of business studies in both basic and junior secondary level are to:

 

1. Provide the orientation and basic skills with which to start an occupation for those who may not have the opportunity for further training;
2. Provide basic skills for personal use now and in the future;
3. Prepare students for further training in business studies;
4. Relate the knowledge and skills to the national economy; and
5. Develop basic skills for office occupation (FME 2007; IV)

 

In summary, the above objectives aim to inculcate at the early age those worthwhile values that are required if an entrepreneur and workers in business environment are to succeed. Business studies is one of the structured curriculum areas geared toward achieving some specific goals of the secondary education. It is an integrated pre-vocational subject taught at the junior secondary level as stipulated in the National Policy on Education (FRN 2004).

 

Business studies is a competence-based subject where each student needs to acquire and demonstrate specific competencies for examples, typewriting, record-keeping (book-keeping) and transcribing in shorthand. Business studies provides students with a new practical context for many of the subjects key studied at the primary school level including mathematics, sciences, languages and social studies. It help students to recognize the relevance of these subjects as they are applied to the world of business – for example, in helping people with their needs, challenges and problems and in creating products and services that help to improve the quality of life. (Affairs et commerce, 2006). The business studies introduced in the junior secondary school level in Nigeria provides knowledge and skills that can help students make a successful transition to post-secondary education, training programmes and the work place. It prepares students to apply their education to the real-world challenges and experiences.
