Furthermore, it explores the dual involvement of the private and public sectors, as well as the qualifications and professional training for TVET teachers and instructors. The paper proposed measures that seem to align with the economic and industrial development of Nigeria.
Taiwan’s economic and industrial development has been revolving around technological, vocational education, and training (TVET). In the 1950s, the government of Taiwan initiated an economic and industrial revolution that was geared towards agricultural production and industrialization. During this time, TVET’s main focus was in the area of agriculture and business-related programs to expand Taiwan's economy with the needed entry-level manpower. The huge achievement in industrialization led to the Taiwan import and export of agricultural products in the 1960s, with a remarkable increase in the number of small and medium-scale industries. The three main focuses of Taiwan’s economic and industrial development were labor, capital, and technology innovation. The notable improvement in technology was considered to be the engine for Taiwan’s economic and industrial growth, which led to a rise in labor demand.
