Abstract
The aim of this research is to assess the level of inclusion of the girl-child in TVET within Ilaro, a medium sized western Nigerian border region settlement within Ogun State, Nigeria, with the view to suggesting sustainable measures for including more girls in TVET based endeavors. The specific objectives are to: identify the schools where TVET related activities are taking place in the study area; investigate the level of inclusion of female students in TVET; investigate the reasons for the observed level of inclusion with a qualitative and participatory approach; and suggest ways of enhancing inclusion of female students in TVET in the study area. The study adopted the snowball technique in compiling the list of principals and two technology-based subjects’ teachers in each of the seven government owned schools within Ilaro community. The total number of participant stakeholders engaged is 21. The Focused Group Discussion’s modus operandi afforded exhaustive expressions for all the themes brought to the fore for discussion before consensus positions were adopted and recorded. The panel adduced numerous reasons to the disproportionate exclusion of female students from TVET based subjects, and accordingly classified them into four groups: Social Barriers, Challenges of Delivery, Policy and Governmental Factors, and the Border Region Factor. The study, among other, recommends orientation and enlightenment of parents, most especially those within the low income group, about the limitlessness of gender abilities, by sundry TVET interest groups. Keywords: Girl-Child, Inclusion, Qualitative, Sustainable, TVET.
