THE PLACE OF DIGITAL LITERACY IN RESUSCITATING NIGERIAN EDUCATION TOWARDS VOCATIONAL, ENTREPRENEURAL AND PROFESSIONAL TRANSFORMATION

Abstract

Education for national development and transformation has become fundamental in the process of nation building across different societies. In Nigeria, the education sector is largely faced with multiple problems that have undermined it from pre-colonial to contemporary times. This study used qualitative data that were collected from secondary literature and Bandura’s theory of social learning to develop the content of the study. The study found that the professional workplace in the Nigerian setting have become fundamentally undermined by the multiple effects of the challenges faced in the Nigerian education. The study therefore explained how digital literacy could be applied to vocational and entrepreneurial education in other to attained transformations in the professional workplace.
