Trade and Vocational Subjects in the Nigerian Curriculum

Trade and vocational subjects give learners practical skills that lead directly to work, enterprise, and self-employment. They are a distinctive and growing part of the Nigerian curriculum.

Trade Subjects cover a range of practical vocationally oriented options that schools can offer based on local demand and facilities, from catering to technical crafts.

Technical Drawing builds the drafting and design skills used in engineering, architecture, and construction careers.

Pre-Vocational Studies introduces practical skills in areas like home economics and agriculture at the basic education level, laying a foundation for later vocational study.
