- Abstract
To increase access to technical and vocational education and training, the Nigerian government through private sector partnership, approved the establishment of Vocational Enterprise Institutions (VEI) and Innovative Enterprise Institutions (IEI). They are private sector driven institutions, meant to provide vocational and technology education. Unfortunately, enrollment in these schools seems to be extremely low compared to other secondary and tertiary level institutions that provide technical and vocational education. This study sought to find out secondary school students and teachers' level of awareness of vocational and innovation enterprise institutions in Rivers State, Nigeria. Data for this study were collected from students and teachers using a questionnaire. The sample for the study consisted of 1,215 participants including teachers and students, selected using multistage sampling technique. Data gathered were analyzed using frequencies and percentages. Results showed that level of awareness of VEI as well as IEI is generally low among teachers and students in the study area. The study recommends that awareness programs via bus advertisements, social media, and market campaign, among others, should be organized by these institutions to bring awareness of their programs.
