by Chris C. Chukwurah
International Journal of Management in Education (IJMIE), Vol. 4, No. 4, 2010

Abstract: The impact and influence of globalisation and entrepreneurship on teacher education in Nigeria were ascertained through the structured questionnaire. Three research questions were formulated to guide the study. Sixty-four lecturers of vocational education were drawn from the University of Calabar and Cross River State University of Technology (CRUTECH), Calabar, and used for the study. Findings of the study indicated that globalisation and entrepreneurship have positive influence and impact on teacher education in Nigerian universities in terms of access to information and dissemination, collaboration and contacts among faculty members and students worldwide. These pose challenging roles to vocational educators in particular and teacher education in general.
