Rethinking Secretarial Education: Overcoming the Barriers to Effective Teaching and Learning

By Elizabeth Ndudikwa

Secretarial education remains an important component of business and vocational education, providing students with the knowledge and practical skills required for careers in administration, office management, communication, and business support services. However, many schools continue to face challenges that hinder the effective teaching and learning of Secretarial Studies.

In this concise and practical book, Ndudikwa Elizabeth examines the major barriers affecting secretarial education, including inadequate instructional materials, insufficient equipment, unsuitable learning environments, ineffective teaching methods, and limited opportunities for professional development. Drawing on research conducted in selected secondary schools within Alimosho Local Government Area of Lagos State, Nigeria, the book highlights the realities faced by both teachers and students.

More than an analysis of problems, this book offers practical recommendations for educators, school administrators, policymakers, and other stakeholders who are committed to improving the quality of business and vocational education. It emphasises the importance of providing adequate resources, modern facilities, effective teaching strategies, and supportive learning environments that enable students to develop the competencies required in today's workplace.

Rethinking Secretarial Education is a valuable resource for teachers, students, researchers, educational leaders, and anyone interested in strengthening secretarial and business education for the future.
