Moral Education: Soul of Productive Technological Education for National Development
Abstract

Nigeria and almost all African countries are almost totally dependent on the products of the technologies of Asian, European and American continents for meaningful existence in today‟s modern world. Almost all the tools, machineries and gadgets for livelihood are imported and this has the adverse consequence of impoverishment of the Nigerian economy, together with its ripple effects in the areas of political, social and all round life of Nigerians, redounding to underdevelopment. For there to be development, there must be local technology, but local technology is dependent on local technological education. Through natural observation, the library research methodology, and the tools of critical deduction and induction, this paper argues that true technological education is not possible in the absence of authentic moral discipline emanating from genuine moral education. But moral education must be contradistinguished from religious education. Recommendations include: belief in ourselves-that we can do anything as much as other human species and this hinges on disciplined moral education that encourages hard work, honesty, love of knowledge, love of our own products even if they may still need improvements, government sponsorship of research, local corporations‟ patriotic buying up of local technological innovations and funding them to full beneficial development, eschewance of tribalism and other discriminatory measures in promoting local innovations resulting from local technological education and efforts, etc.
