ABSTRACT
This work tries to examine the development of vocational and technical education during the last six decades. The problems experienced as a result of unconsolidated reforms includes: the VTE curriculum, the instructional materials and the skills taught are not in consonance with the present
day technological advancement. Recommendations made for the way forward includes: replacement of the obsolete laboratory/workshop equipment with the modern laboratory/workshop facilities, the resources being wasted in the ongoing false rebranding should have been used to rebrand teachers of V.T.E. of the recent developments in global technological advancements.
