Abstract

This study investigated the Role of Business Subject Teachers
in Promoting Entrepreneurial Skills among Secondary School
Students in Awka South L.G.A of Anambra State. A descriptive
research design was adopted, with a population comprising 80
Business Subject Teachers from 19 public secondary schools in
Awka South Local Government Area. A sample of 67 respondents
was selected using simple random sampling. Data were collected
using a 16-item structured questionnaire titled “Role of Business
Subject Teachers in Promoting Entrepreneurial Skills among
Secondary School Students Questionnaire (RBSTPESSSSQ)”
and analyzed using mean scores. The findings revealed that
business subject teachers can enhance students’ knowledge of
effective technical writing techniques and identify necessary
technological software to meet new business trends.
Additionally, business subject teachers assist students in
developing interpersonal skills and financial literacy to avoid
impulse buying. The study recommends adequate funding of
business studies subjects by stakeholders at all levels and
emphasizes the importance of procurement of requisite teaching
materials.
