Abstract :

The aim of this research was to determine the effectiveness of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) in the management of TVET programme in the 21st century. The preferred method of inquiry was the survey research design. A total population of 44 lecturers from the Department of Vocational and Technical Education, University of Benin and Ambrose Alli University was used for the research. The instrument for data collection was a structured questionnaire, validated by two experts. The Cronbach alpha formula was used to determine the instrument reliability; which yielded the coefficient value of 0.87. 20 questionnaire items was administered to the respondents by the researchers. The mean, standard deviation and t-test statistical tools were used for the data analysis. The results of the research showed that PPP to a high extent can influence the optimization of financial resources, provision of qualified manpower, development of curricula and procurement of modern facilities. There was also no significant difference between the mean ratings of TVET lecturers in UNIBEN and AAU regarding the influence of PPP on the effective management of TVET programme in the 21st century. This indicates that TVET lecturers in both institutions have the same perception regarding the influence of PPP on the management of TVET programme. Based on these findings, 4 recommendations were made in the research.
