Mrs Patricia Narai, Deputy Director, Domestic Tourism in the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, in an interview on Tuesday, at Abuja, said plans have been concluded to introduce Tourism as a subject at the senior secondary school level.
The Nigerian Educational Development Council has proposed 34 trades and identified tourism as one of the trades to be taught at the entrepreneurship level. So students from SS 1 to SS 3 will soon start studying tourism and at that level they can come out victorious and establish a tourism business of their own. And they can also further their education on that line. What is left now is the approval.
The essence of this is to catch them young; by the time tourism is studied in all senior secondary schools across the country, it will go a long way to produce large workforce for the sector.
