... the findings of this study also conformed to that of Dokubo & Deebom [17] whose findings showed gender disparity in students enrollment in technical education with very low enrolment of females in technical education in Nigeria. Figure 2 reveals that majority of 43.4% of the NCE II students of Building Technology are within 15 -20 years age bracket, 31.8% are within 21 -25 years age bracket, 17.7% of the students are within 26 -30 years age bracket while 7.1% of the students are 31 years and above. The result shows that most of NCE II students in Northcentral Nigeria are very young with few old students. ...
