Education has continued to evolve, diversify and extend its reach and coverage since the dawn of human history. The Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) marked a significant step in the history of education in Nigeria when it introduced the Entrepreneurship subjects and made it mandatory for every student in senior secondary school to offer one Entrepreneurship subject and register it in WAEC/NECO examination in year 2011. The new entrepreneurship curriculum was designed to meet the targets of the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) which are expressed as: value re-orientation, poverty eradication, job creation, wealth generation and using education to empower the citizenry.

Photography is one of the Entrepreneurship subjects offered in senior secondary schools in Nigeria. The introduction of the subject is informed by the continually changing world which we live today and the unprecedented rate in technological advancement that is shrinking the world into a global village. Photography enables a person to record visual images through photographs to be kept for posterity. It also enables one to transmit events happening around the globe in a matter of seconds thereby enriching ones experiences in terms of activities that have bearing on politics, economics, education, social, cultural and other institution.

Why every secondary school should be teaching their student photography

There are so many reasons why every school should be teaching photography as an entrepreneurship subject. Below are some of the reasons.

Photography is universal: Photography transcends social class and many use it daily. It is not a trade or profession for the poor and middle class. Kodak once told consumers to “always carry a camera”. Now teenagers carry their smart phone at all times. Those who are inclined towards science and maths often enjoy the technical dimensions; while for those who struggle to draw, photography provides a chance to be visually creative.

Parents would prefer it for their child: The parents of students in our schools today are well informed, exposed and educated. They know what is best for their child and want real value for the money they are paying for their child’s education. From the research conducted by Standard Institute of Photography in Lagos and Ibadan in year 2017, it was discovered that 95% of parents would want their child to take photography as an entrepreneurship subject instead of marketing, data processing or shorthand. Photography is a real trade their child will greatly benefit from whether they end up as photographers in the future or not. Not only will the students benefit from it, their parents will also benefit a lot because their child will become their in-house photographer covering every family event for them for free. Which parent will not want an immediate benefit from their child’s education?

It teaches practical skills: We find that teenagers tend to like learning practical skills. Photography is one subject that teaches practical skills starting from the effective use of digital cameras, composition and framing, photo editing using the computer, printing and framing of pictures. Subjects like photography – along with art, music and drama have immense value for teenagers as a balance for other parts of the curriculum where words and numbers count so highly.

It broadens horizons: Our culture of constant selfies and YouTube uploads has its dangers: safeguarding risks, egocentrism, over-sharing and the over-documentation of events inhibiting our ability to remember them. Teaching photography can counteract these risks, as students learn about being behind the camera instead of always in front of it.

It enriches other subjects: Photography is an art form that has a good blend of chemistry, physics and ICT. Our physics students can use real pinhole cameras to apply pinhole theory and then process the images. History students can explore the impact of an image of Nigeria’s independence in 1960, while geography students can add an extra dimension to field trips by taking photographs. Photography is where art and science meet, so it can help students to think outside subject confines.

It doesn’t require expensive kit: Teaching and learning photography does not require expensive equipment like big camera, studio equipment etc. True photographers can take great pictures with simple equipment; the eye is more important than the camera. Schools don’t need to invest in expensive cameras: they can introduce students to photography using only their smartphones. And if they need to print the picture, it can be uploaded to a computer and taken to a photo lab for printing at a small fee. You don’t need darkroom, studio equipment etc. Smartphone and your school computers are enough. But if you want to buy all the big cameras and equipment, it is perfectly okay.

Photography helps students to express themselves and develop visual perception: What’s more, it means that young people might think twice before pressing the button and posting an image online. So let’s get more students photographing flowers – creating, rather than merely consuming, the output of an entertainment-obsessed age.

Available textbook and curriculum on photography: We now have a new textbook on photography that effectively covers all the topics in the Federal Government approved curriculum for secondary school. This textbook is written, edited and assessed by a combine team of seasoned and experience teachers and professional photographers. The book is practical oriented, activity based, self-explanatory and learner centred instructional material. The curriculum can also be easily gotten.

You do not need a professional photographer to teach the subject to your students: With a well written and illustrated textbook available, photography can be effectively handled by a fine art or science teacher. If you have a photographer who is academically qualified to teach at secondary school level, that will be perfect. But an art or science teacher can effectively use the textbook to teach both the theory and practical aspect of photography.

It is exciting, creative and innovative: Photography is one of the most interesting, creative and innovative subject any student can learn in secondary school. From the taking of pictures with a camera or smartphone to the editing of pictures on a computer system, outdoor photoshoot, excursions and field trips, mounting and framing of pictures for exhibition etc. The excitement is real. The student will be having fun while learning. This is one subject no child should miss.

It will create value for the school: Well trained photography students can help the school to cover and record school events like student’s birthdays, excursions, workshops and seminars, end of session party, anniversaries, carol services etc with a digital camera. This will reduce a lot of cost paid to professional photographers to cover school events. While the students will be so glad to do it for free, the school authority will be smiling and proud of the value they are adding to the life of the students.

If you are a school own, what are you waiting for? Don’t allow your school to be the last to embrace this innovative & lucrative entrepreneurship subject. Give your students and their parents more reasons to be happy that they choose your school. Be a pace and a trendsetter. Please get in touch with the publisher of the photography textbook to order copies for you school against next academic session.

PHOTOGRAPHY AS A SUBJECT IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS

The Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC) marked a significant step in the history of education in Nigeria when it introduced the Entrepreneurship/Trade subjects in 2011 and made it mandatory for every student in Senior Secondary School to offer at least one Entrepreneurship/Trade subject and register for it in WAEC/NECO examination. The new trade curriculum was designed to meet the targets of the National Economic Empowerment and Development Strategy (NEEDS) which are expressed as: VALUE RE-ORIENTATION, POVERTY ERADICATION, JOB CREATION, WEALTH GENERATION and using education to empower the citizenry. The overall goal of the curriculum is to prepare the students to face the challenges of the new millennium. The major aim is that students having successfully passed through the senior secondary education, should have acquired the skills in a specific trade to enable them create jobs and generate wealth.

Photography is one of the Entrepreneurship/trade subjects introduced by NERDC in 2011 and offered as a subject in Senior Secondary Schools in Nigeria. The introduction of the subject is informed by the continually changing world which we live today and the unprecedented rate in technological advancement that is shrinking the world into a global village. Photography enables a person to record visual images through photographs to be kept for posterity. It also enables one to transmit events happening around the globe in a matter of seconds thereby enriching ones experiences in terms of activities that have bearing on politics, economics, education, social, cultural and other institution. It is therefore a truism that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Photography mirrors reality, an ART as well as SCIENCE. It captures and reproduces reality with accuracy. Its services span the range of human needs, both practical and emotional. It plays a vital role in helping to preserve records of different fields of study, in preserving the cultural heritage, in business, industry, education, medicine, criminology and defence services, coupled with keeping a record of special occasions in day-to-day life.

Though the curriculum has been in use since 2011, it is still not common to find schools offering Photography as a subject. This is largely due to non-availability of qualified teachers who know the technical know-how, non-availability of teaching materials (textbooks, workbooks and teaching aids that goes with the NERDC curriculum) and lack of proper awareness by some school proprietors. Inorder to solve this problem, this interesting textbook on photography was written along with a training log book. This happens to be the first photography textbook in Nigeria for secondary schools.

BENEFITS OF LEARNING PHOTOGRAPHY AT THE SECONDARY SCHOOL LEVEL

Photography for students offers a range of exciting and valuable learning experiences, not to mention some great experiences that help shape their future and make them more prepared to take responsibilities in life. The benefits include:

Stimulate Creativity: Photography allows students to display their potential through creativity and innovations. It stimulates students to develop their creativity through captured and edited photographs. Children grow up in a very visual world and everything that they see helps develop their personality and character. A big chunk of their learning development is in the visual aspect of their lives. Having them learn photography at an early age can therefore further fortify their academic progress, increase innovation and stimulate creativity.

ICT Skills: Learning digital photography improves students’ computer skills because they need to load pictures from their digital camera and smartphones unto the computer and edit the pictures using photo editing softwares like Photoshop, Piccasa, DG FotoArt etc. Also they will learn to upload edited pictures on the internet on platforms like facebook, school websites, newspaper and other media sites. All these help to strengthen and improve their information communication and technology skills.

Lifelong learners: In the course of learning digital photography, students will gain positive sense of identity and efficacy through the development of practical skills and knowledge. The photography curriculum is closely related to careers found in Technology, Science, Humanities and Business and therefore are directly connected to lifelong learning, whether in a professional career or through hobbies and personal interest.

Boost Self Esteem: To engage in photography, students not only need to use knowledge and skills but also must interact with each other. Through photography, students learn about themselves, others and the world around them. They use their new understanding and skills to explore who they are, who they might become and how they can contribute to the large community in which they live. This goes a long way to boost their self esteem

Responsible citizens: Responsible citizens have empathy for those around them and contribute to the well-being of the community as a whole. Photography students learn how new skills and abilities enable them to make a difference in their personal lives as well as in their family and community. Skills and abilities gained in photography classes build a sense of confidence which encourages students to participate effectively in their world.

Cross-curricular competencies: The cross-curricular competencies are four interrelated areas containing understandings, values, skills, and process that are considered important for learning in all areas of study. In photography, the cross-curricular competencies also relate to lifelong learning through career development and transitions to post-secondary training, education and work

Digital Literacy: Learning digital photography helps students to develop photo-visual literacy which leads to digital literacy. Digital literacy requires certain skill sets that are interdisciplinary in nature. These skills are information, media and technology, learning and innovation skills and life and career skills.

Communication skills: Photographs are a great tool for communication. It is rightly said that a picture is worth a thousand words. Taking photography as a subject, help the students to learn how to effectively communicate using the right pictures. This is a skill that will help them in any field of study and at any point in time in their life.

Entrepreneurship: Photography is a trade that is making wave in this era. It is also a money spinner when properly organized and managed. It is a trade for equipping the youth for self employment and empowerment. Acquiring the skills in photography will empower students for and prepare them for a career as a professional photographer or photojournalist.

OBTAIN YOUR NABTEB NATIONAL TECHNICAL CERTIFICATE (MODULAR) IN PHOTOGRAPHY, COSMETOLOGY, GRAPHICS ARTS, CATERING, TOURISM AND COMPUTER STUDIES - 08180495451

At the moment the Board examines about 40 trades which have been broken into employable modules by National Board for Technical Education (NBTE). Although the ultimate goal of all programmes is to produce craftsmen and technicians. The curriculum makes it possible to produce other levels of skilled technical manpower such as operatives and artisans simply by completing one or more trade modules without formally completing the full programme.

FOR WHOM?

The Modular Trades Certificate Examinations are especially designed and tailored to meet the needs of:
(i) those who want to be certified in marketable modules of a trade
(ii) artisans/operatives and others who wish to upgrade their skills for purposes of employment and upward mobility on the job.
(iii) those trained in the informal educational sector (apprenticeship scheme) but with adequate knowledge and skills to sit for the examination.
(iv) those already in employment and studying on part-time wishing to gradually cumulate their module scores until completed for a single full NTC/NBC certificate
(v) those interested in do-it-yourself in the profession of their choice.

WHAT ARE THE ENTRY REQUIREMENTS FOR THE MODULAR TRADES CERTIFICATE EXAMINATION?

Entry requirements for Modular Trades Certificate Examinations include any of the following:
(i) Primary Six Certificate
(ii) Certificate of Apprenticeship (Informal Training)
(iii) Trade Grades III, II and I.
(iv) J.S.S. III or equivalent qualification with knowledge of introductory Technology.
(v) Federal Craft Certificate
(vi) Any other equivalent or higher qualifications (SSCE, Diploma, OND, HND, BSc etc)
(vii) Anyone who can read and write

ADVANTAGES OF HAVING NABTEB MODULAR TRADE CERTIFICATE

• Apart from recognizing the potentials of artisans, the NABTEB Modular Trade Certificate is designed to empower them and channel their resources towards sustainable national development.

• The Modular Trade Certificate Examination offers a golden opportunity for talented and skilled technicians or artisans who could not be gainfully employed or duly promoted for lack of acceptable educational qualification.

• Skill acquisition: You get trained on a particular trade and become an expert in it. A skilled person can survive in any environment. As water is very essential to human life, so is skill training and acquisition needed in the life of every serious minded human being. Skills can do a lot of great work in the life of every living soul. Lack of entrepreneurial skills is one of major causes of poverty.

• Gainful employment and career development. Having the NABTEB Modular Trade Certificate will boost your job opportunities and could possibly allow you to demand more pay. An employer is far more likely to choose the candidate with the certificate over the candidate who does not.

• Economic self reliance, Wealth creation and Self-employment: A skill acquired man is a self-employed man. A self-employed person can never go hungry because the skill he acquired provides food for him/her on a daily basis. But one who lacks skill acquisition will find it difficult to be self-employed because he/she has nothing to offer.

• You will be qualified to train apprentices in your trade and even have the National Directorate of Employment send apprentices for you to train and then pay you for it.

• Having the NABTEB Modular Trade Certificate will allow you to work in other countries without writing further trade exams.

• Having the NABTEB Modular Trade Certificate will demonstrate to your clients/customers that you are a professional company with trained qualified tradespersons.

• If you are self employed or a contractor you are more likely to attract quality employees/candidates

• Having the NABTEB Modular Trade Certificate differentiate you from competition


AWARD OF CERTIFICATES
