“The Impact of Teachers’ Competency on the Acquisition of Entrepreneurship Skills by Secondary Technical High School Students in the Upper Sanaga Division of the Center Region of Cameroon.â€

This article examines the impact of Teachers’ competency on the acquisition of entrepreneurship skills by secondary technical high school students in the Upper Sanaga Division of the Center Region. The objective of the study was to determine the effects of Teachers’ competency on the acquisition of entrepreneurship skills among secondary school students in the Upper Sanaga Division of the Center Region. This study employs a descriptive survey design. Using purposive and simple random sampling techniques, a sample size of 327 students was selected for the study. The tool used for data collection was the questionnaire. The data were analyzed using the Pearson Correlation formula, and the following results were obtained. To support these arguments, we made use of the Social Capital Theory by Putnam (2000) and the Blue Ocean Strategy Theory by W. Chan Kim and Renée Mauborgne (2005). There is therefore a significant relationship between Teachers’ competency and the acquisition of entrepreneurship skills among secondary school students in the Upper Sanaga Division of the Center Region. Based on these findings, as a recommendation, modern technological trends are moving at a fast pace. Therefore, there is a need to review both the curriculum content and stereotypical assessment/evaluation procedures for the secondary technical education sector, as this is paramount if Cameroon is to meet the technical skills required by its technicians for emergence by 2035.
