Entrepreneurship opportunities in business education as a means of reducing social vices

Abstract

The study was carried to identify the entrepreneurship employment opportunities in business education and how they can curb societal crimes in Nigeria. Data collected from 200 respondents were analyzed using mean and ANOVA statistics. The findings showed the entrepreneurship opportunities in office education, marketing education and accounting education are rated slightly high in curbing societal crimes. The test of hypothesis showed that there is no significant difference among the mean responses of the respondents with different qualifications on how entrepreneurship opportunities in business education can curb societal crimes. Based on the findings it was recommended among others that tertiary institutions should acquire necessary ICT equipment and adequate teaching facilities for effective teaching business education oriented courses and that business education students should acquire the necessary skills, knowledge and attitudes that can sustain self and gainful employment ventures.
