Abstract
As the nations all over the world manage the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, the need to look inward and become self-reliant in the face of global isolation became evident. To tackle the challenges facing today’s world requires pragmatic solutions employing innovations and creativity. Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) is expected to produce personnel that would rise up to challenge in times of need. Such innovations and creativity would be needed to be adopted into educational curriculum to bring up individuals that would achieve the much needed innovations and creativity. Educational institutions must produce graduates that possess the technical skills of their disciplines to carry out innovation. This study proposes a 30:30:40 ratio for curriculum delivery and assessment in a 3-tier approach to curriculum delivery. Tier-1 comprises the theoretical concepts that give the background knowledge of the course being taught. In tier-2, the learner is made to undergo practical exercise related to the course of study. The third tier involves developing the creative abilities of the learner to innovatively conceive something original or unusual and implement it. The proposed model has potential to ensure that the objectives of the curriculum delivery has been fully achieved. When educators deliver the curriculum based on the proposed 3-tier curriculum delivery approach, it is expected that TVET learners in Nigeria would be better off than with the current system. Students will not only have theoretical knowledge but also acquire necessary skills to create devices that meet societal needs.
