Abstract
From time immemorial, people have been controlled (ruled) by others in order to maintain law and order. This process is what is called governance. Governance is the act of exercising power and making decisions for a group of people by a selected few granted the authority to do so. Different human era called for different ‘curricular’ of teaching since it is believed that the needs of the society are one of the major determinants of the content of the curriculum. The authorities at each of such times only help to articulate the curriculum and provide the environment for teaching and learning to take place. In this pursuit, the Nigerian government has not been an exception. Over the years, the Governments have brought in one change or the other to the educational sector all with the utmost aim of making the nation better through her educational processes. This paper through the methodology of literature review and the authors’ observations focuses on some of the changes brought into the sector particularly in Technical Vocational Education. It looked at how these changes have benefited or otherwise affected the country and makes suggestions based on the findings.
