Business Educators’ Need for E-Learning and Business Education Programme in Tertiary Institutions Anambra State, Nigeria

Abstract

Business Education which is a part of formal education consists of systematic instruction, teaching and training by teachers.Business Education involves equipping students with the appropriate skills, knowledge and competences needed to advance in the field of business or to progress in the world of business as managers, business executives, entrepreneurs, secretaries and accountants (Okoye, 2017). The major aim of business education programme at the tertiary level of education is to empower its recipients for effective work performance on graduation.The contents of business education at the tertiary level are broad and its coverage is of great concern to both lecturers and students.As a remedy to this situation, Utoware and Kren-Ikidi (2014) suggested that utilization of e-learning will reduce the contents to mere interaction and discussion classes from all sides of the globe.
