dc.description.abstractTechnical and Vocational Education (TVE) has been recognized as a great impetus for national development in both developed and developing countries. However, it appears that it has functioned better in developed rather than in developing countries. Therefore, the study investigated comparative analysis of the philosophy and objectives of TVE at the senior secondary school level in Nigeria and the UK. The study employed a descriptive survey type. The population comprised all technical, vocational education stakeholders in the two countries. The target population comprised educational administrators from the Federal Ministry of Education in Abuja, Nigeria and Department of Education in the UK, as well as teachers of Technical Colleges in Nigeria and the UK. Out of 179 Technical Colleges in both countries, 16 Technical Colleges were purposively sampled and a total of 106 education stakeholders. Two instruments were used in the· study, a questionnaire and a Structured Open-ended Interview Schedule (SOJS) with psychometric properties of content value of 0.72 reliability. The result of the study revealed that the philosophy and objectives of TVE at the senior secondary school level in Nigeria and the UK aims at cultivating in the learners’ essential skills for self- employment and self-reliance; although this is more visible in the UK than in Nigeria. The study concluded that the philosophy and objectives of TVE at the senior secondary school level is better implemented in the UK than in Nigeria. This implies that TVE needs more attention in Nigeria. The study recommended that Technical and Vocational Education should be well funded and better implemented in Nigeria.en_US
