| dc.description | The purpose of the study was to find out the extent to which the entrepreneurship skills training (EST) course was being implemented in public technical institutes in the Central and Western Regions of Ghana. The descriptive survey was used for the study and two sets of questionnaires were used to collect data for the study. The purposive and random sampling methods were used to select 204 respondents. Tables, frequencies, percentages and weighted mean scores were used to analyze and present data. The main results of the study are that majorities (79%) of the EST teachers are professionally trained teachers but 56% of them lacked skills and knowledge in entrepreneurship. There are adequate classrooms and furniture in the institutes but teaching and learning materials are inadequate for both teachers and students. Most of the recommended teaching methods are strategies for the course are not used by teachers. However, both teachers and students had a clear understanding of the purpose and objectives of the EST syllabus. The study revealed that there was unsuccessful implementation of the EST course based on fidelity approach to the study. These results have prompted the recommendation of a number of recommendations to help promote effective implementation of the course. The important recommendations are that periodic in-service training and workshops should be organized for the teachers and also more EST trainers’ guide and reference materials for the course should be provided. | |
