Abstract
The paper was on a contextual analysis of the new secondary schools curriculum on realization of the objectives of mandatory entrepreneurial education in Nigeria. The study had three objectives and three null hypotheses. The study was based on the theory of “Science of Curriculum Product” as stated by Franklin Bobbitt (1918; 1928) and Ralph W. Tyler (1949). Correlational survey design was used for the study. The researchers targeted 218 secondary school teachers that attended 6th national conference organized by Business Educators Relationship in Vocational Education (BEAVE) held at Saadatu Rimi College of Education, Kano in 2016. The whole population was used for the study. A structured questionnaire titled ‘Curriculum Adequacy for Entrepreneurial Education (CAEE’) designed by the researchers and which was validated by experts was used for data collection. In order todetermine the internal consistency of the instrument, it was trial tested on a population 20 technology education lecturers in ATBU Bauchi. Cronbach alpha formular was used to establish the reliability which yielded coefficient index of 0.89. The instrument was administered to the respondents personally by the researchers. Data collected were coded into Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS). The package was run for Pearson Product Moment Correlation to test the three null hypotheses at 0.05level of significance. The result revealed that the entrepreneurship curriculum is capable of providing basic skills and knowledge capable of provoking entrepreneurship intention among the recipients. As a result, it was concluded that proper implementation of the curriculum would help to address the problem of unemployment and poverty among the secondary leavers in the country. Based on the findings it was recommended among others that state and federal government should supply schools with adequate instructional materials, books and facilities needed for proper implementation of the entrepreneurship curriculum in the country.
