INTRODUCTION
A discourse on issues on entrepreneurial skills, self-reliance and
agricultural education in Nigeria especially at this time of global
recession is timely, more so that the students are being turned out of
the university in large quantum with little or no job awaiting them.
Living them, with the only option for self employment.
The role of agriculture in the development of industrialization and
modern civilization cannot be over-emphasized. Prior to the discovery of
oil in Nigeria, agriculture provided employment for over 70% of
Nigerians as will foreign exchange earnings for the country. Education
is the greatest tool for transforming the resource base for an
environment through human capital development. Etim and Archibong (2011)
opined that the essence of agricultural education is to develop in
individuals the necessary knowledge, attitudes, habits, and skills that
would enable them function effectively in a society they exist. This
forms the focal point of this paper which examines the importance of
agricultural education in entrepreneurial skills development and
self-reliance ability of young school leavers.
EDUCATION FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Sustainable development was defined as “development which meets the
needs of the past without compromising the ability of future generation
to meets their needs” to achieve sustainable development the role of
school must be recognized. This was made explicit at RIO summit by
agenda 21 in 2002 for the global plan for 21st century. (Wikipedia –
encyclopedia) Education for sustainable development (ESD) is a vision of
education that seeks to empower people to assume responsibility for
creating a sustainable future. Central to ESD is the concept of culture
as an essential underlying theme. (Wikipedia). Attaining sustainability
requires different stakeholders working together to negotiate the
process of achieving sustainability.
The very concept of ESD challenges the way more people think about the
world today. ESD aimed to challenge these aspirations by encouraging us
to imagine a different future and reflect on how our values, beliefs and
current behaviours might affect our collective ability to realise such
in future. This requires that we also change our views of the purpose of
education.
CONCEPT OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP
Entrepreneurship has been widely defined in different ways by various individuals based on their perspectives according to Akpomudjere (2012), entrepreneurship is the process of searching out opportunities in the market place and arranging resources required to exploit this opportunities for long term gains. The concept of entrepreneurship has a wide range of meanings, entrepreneurship may be distinguished as an ability to take risk independently to make utmost earrings in the market, to be a creative and innovative skill and adapting response to environment of what is real.
