Anambra Adds Entrepreneurial Subjects to Schools to Boost Skills By Korede Abdullah | Lagos The Anambra State Government introduces 15 entrepreneurial subjects into Junior Secondary Schools, aiming to equip students with practical skills and prepare them for self-reliance in a changing economy. The new curriculum, launched at Igwebuike Grammar School in Awka, covers solar installation, garment making, GSM repairs, agriculture and food processing, plumbing, bakery, hairstyling, digital literacy, information technology and robotics, among others. Officials say the move marks a shift from theory-driven learning to skills-based education designed to nurture creativity and innovation from an early age. Speaking at the launch, the Chairman of the Post-Primary Schools Service Commission, Professor Nkechi Ikediugwu, says the initiative responds to global economic realities. “In today’s rapidly changing world, education must go beyond theory and examinations to equip students with practical skills, creativity, innovation and an entrepreneurial mindset,” she says. Ikediugwu adds that the programme aims to raise “job and value creators, not job seekers”, positioning young people to contribute meaningfully to local economies. Also speaking, Cyril Nwuche of Nnamdi Azikiwe University describes the initiative as a foundation for long-term economic and social transformation. “Traditional academic instruction is no longer sufficient to prepare children for the future,” he says, noting that early exposure to vocational and digital skills improves adaptability. The policy follows Anambra’s recruitment of 8,115 teachers in October 2025, part of broader education reforms under Governor Chukwuma Soludo. Commissioner for Budget and Economic Planning, Chiamaka Nnake, says the recruitment supports improved learning outcomes and wider access to quality education. Education analysts say the introduction of entrepreneurial subjects at junior level could help address youth unemployment by aligning schooling with labour market needs. They note that sustained funding, teacher training and industry partnerships will be crucial to ensuring the programme delivers measurable impact across the state.
