Entrepreneurship ICT and the History Curriculum in Nigerian Schools

Abstract

The world over and especially in Nigeria, the idea of entrepreneurship education is gaining prominence. This is largely due to the high level of graduate unemployment in the country and particularly, graduates of history as a discipline at all levels. Graduates of history are susceptible to lack of employment due to the society’s apathy towards the subject, its lack of being taught in secondary schools and the like. The paper recommends the incorporation of entrepreneurial education through the use of ICT skills in the history curriculum in order to motivate interest in the discipline and also arrest the scourge of unemployment confronting the graduates of history at all levels of education in Nigeria by equipping them with entrepreneurial skills.
