education programme of colleges of education in Delta State. Design of this
research was descriptive survey and 118 business education lecturers in the
colleges of education in Delta State participated in the survey. Data were

business education programme. The test of hypotheses showed that
irrespective of the years of work experience of the respondents, their
responses did not differ significantly. This indicated that the examined

enrolment. It was concluded that the attracting and retaining strategies
determined by the study are effective means of reversing the steady decline

Abstract The study assessed the adequacy of instructional resources available for business education programmes at the
colleges of education in Edo and Delta states of Nigeria in relation to the standards stipulated by the National
Commission for Colleges of Education (NCCE). The study adopted the ex-post facto research design and was
guided by five research questions. The population of the study comprised all the six business education
departments of the colleges of education in Edo and Delta states of Nigeria. The entire population was studied in
terms of adequacy of instructional resources. The data for the study was collected through direct observation
using the NCCE benchmarks as inventory and analyzed using ratio and percentage scores. The study found that
lecturers and physical facilities available for business education programmes are adequate in some of the
colleges and not adequate in others. Equipment and supplies in the typing laboratories, shorthand studios and
model offices were found to be grossly inadequate in all the colleges studied. Based on these findings therefore,
it was concluded that students of business education in these colleges of education are learning without the
necessary and required instructional resources for effective development. To this end, it was recommended
among others that the National Commission for Colleges of Education should regularly supervise the
programmes of business education and ensure that their stipulated standards are maintained.

concerted effort targeted at ameliorating this deplorable situation. It was based on this therefore, that this study
suggested some control measures that could help to enhance the quality of business education in Nigeria.
Consequently, the paper drew a conclusion for the subject matter and it was recommended among others that there
should be a positive attitudinal change, internal integrity and commitment by all stakeholders to the whole issues of
education for quality to be assured in business education in Nigeria.
