Abstract
This study investigated the effect of teachers’ variables on students’ academic achievement in entrepreneurship education in technical and vocational colleges in Lagos State, Nigeria. Two research questions and two hypotheses were tested at a 0.05 significance level. The ex-post facto research design was used for the study, and the population of the study was 223 students. The study sample was 85 final-year students from vocational and technical colleges in Ikotun and Ikorodu. No instrument was developed in this study. Rather, a letter was used to request data. Data was analysed using mean for the research questions and ANOVA (Analysis of variance) to test the hypotheses. The collected data was analysed using the mean for the research questions and ANOVA to test the hypotheses. The finding revealed that the teachers’ variables related to sex and certification do not significantly affect student’s academic achievement in entrepreneurship education in technical and vocational colleges. The recommendation was made that the government should recruit competent teachers for technical and vocational college teaching; there should be no consideration in recruiting technical and vocational teachers because the students’ academic achievement is unrelated to teachers' sex and certification.
