Abstract

This paper exposed diverse ways through which Mathematics educators from Nigerian tertiary institutions could become self-reliant after their training from the universities, polytechnics and colleges of education. It has become a known fact that government cannot provide enough employment for all these graduates that are turned out every year by these tertiary institutions. This makes it imperative that an alternative way of making these graduates, especially Mathematics educators, self-reliant should be explored. This was in fact the main focus of this paper. It is hoped that this paper would help young Mathematics educators who could not get government employment after graduation to discover how they can survive in this new millennium without government employment. This paper also suggested how such graduates could be assisted by the government to stand on their own. Recommendations were made at the end on how tertiary institutions could develop entrepreneurship education programmes in Mathematics education to help these graduates to be self-reliant after training from tertiary institutions. Other workable recommendations such as these were also made: that government should offer financial assistance to any Mathematics educator who wishes to start something on his own; that government should be willing to purchase materials developed by Mathematics educators who are on their own. All these measures, if properly implemented, would certainly make Mathematics educators self-reliant in this new millennium.
