 CHAPTER FOUR

4.0 SUMMARY

The report is written on the issues of students Industrial working

experience scheme (SIWES) the programme aimed at exposing each

student to nature of activities and various field of human endeavour. This

is so because specialized filling of study.

4.1 CONCLUSION

The industrial growth of every nation determines her economic, in

social and political growth.

Education in school system is not an end in its self but a measure

achieving greater things in once life.

This is because Mass communication industrial training alone cannot

teach the skill, experience and knowledge required for being successful in

the working environment. Therefore, there is need for mutual cooperation

between the school system and industry in raising the technical literacy of

business education students.

12
4.2 RECOMMENDATION

The industrial training fund (ITF) should pay the SIWES allowance for

students, during the period of their attachment.

This can aid the students in feeding and transportation. They should also address

students to organization to have need for the care taken of students during the

period of (IT) industrial training.

The federal government and other relevant authorities should also

considered a law for the cooperate organization to give an allowance to students to

enable them live in good health.
