    1.1 Background to the Study

    The study of home economics has increased overtime in Nigeria; home economics as a subject play a significant role in the life of many in most of the Nigeria societies.

    Home economics can be seen to contribute to life in different ways; home economics as an aspect of vocational and technical education plays significant roles in the growth and development of the national economy through an improved teaching and learning skills.

    Home economics as an aspect of vocational education is a skill oriented subject and requires the contributions of both human and material resources.

    According to Uko-Aviomoh (2005) stated that home economics as an entrepreneurial-based and skill-oriented field of study is expected to equip learners with saleable skills that make for self-reliance and paid employment. Home economics as a field of study is divided into three major groups which are:

    1. Food and nutrition
    2. Clothing and textile
    3. Home management

    The above mention groups of home economics cannot be properly taught without the provision of both human and materials resources.

    Even with the contributions of home economics to the growth and development of the national economy there are still some problems associated with home economics which is the problem of teaching the subject “home economics”.

    Over the years there have been series of challenges faced by most teachers in teaching home economics in schools and colleges.

    According to Arubayi (2010) stated that without funds these material resources cannot be made available and this will lead to poor quality teaching which in turns have a negative effect on learning abilities of the individual, poor motivation and frustration on the part of the students.

    It is to this reason that the researcher wishes to carry out a study on the challenges of teaching home economics in Nigeria schools and colleges using Uvwie local government area as the case study.
