The STM education has failed in its responsibilities of fostering scientific skills and attitudes as the
graduates roam the streets with no job and no skill to start off their own business. Therefore, there is the need to
restructure the STM education for entrepreneurship. There is also the need to introduce into the school
curriculum entrepreneurship education for the acquisition of right habits, attitudes, and skills as a means of
surviving in the face of unemployment. In fact, there should be total overhaul of STM education in Nigeria.
A new curriculum for STM education should be developed and various sectors like the Nigerian Business
Educators Association, Chamber of Commerce and Industries, Manufacturers Association of Nigeria, etc.,
should be included in the formation of the new curriculum. The society, the schools, the students, the trade
associations, and club and business owners should be included in the development of the course contents. The
course contents should reflect the local labour markets and the students’ needs.
According to Iloputaife (2002) STM education should include in its objectives:
(1) Taking up employment in industries and factories requiring their areas of specialization;
(2) Providing employment for self and others;
(3) Being computer literate and being able to service and maintain computers.
