Abstract

Pre-vocational Business Studies subjects were introduced in junior secondary schools alongside other pre- vocational subjects. The sole aim of the inclusion of pre- vocational subjects in junior secondary school curriculum is to expose the students to various occupational areas and to equip them with the necessary basic skills in the areas of their choices, based on their interests, abilities and aptitudes. Unfortunately, since the introduction of pre-vocational Business Studies subjects in secondary schools in Enugu State, the impact has not much been felt by the recipients. This piece of work conceptually explores and highlights the major obstacles to the proper implementation of pre-vocational Business Studies in public schools in Enugu State. These obstacles among other things include- inadequate facilities and instructional materials, unqualified business teachers, societal and parental attitudes towards Business Studies. Consequently it is recommended among other things that the government, community and business organizations should help in funding vocational business in the secondary schools. Only qualified business educators should be employed by the government to teach pre- vocational Business Studies. The national board for technical education (NBTE) should occasionally organize Business Studies programme through the mass media to educate the society on the usefulness of Business Studies in equipping the recipients for both salaried and self-employment.
