摘要：Quality Assurance (QA) and Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) are two widelydiscussed concepts in specialised skill-focused education. Ineffective or absence of QA has beenidentified by policymakers as an inhibition to the realisation of goals of TVET. The purpose of thispaper therefore is to examine the impact of QA on TVET in Nigeria. This study becomes imperativeto provide a reliable assessment and research-based evidence on TVET in Nigeria. The researchmethod is quantitative, while relying on the survey strategy for data collection. The key samplelocations were Yaba College of Technology, Federal College of Education (Technical), Lagos StatePolytechnic and Federal Science & Technical College, from which a sample size of 150 staff andstudent respondents was selected using purposive sampling technique. The returned questionnaireswere analysed electronically, and the findings systematically presented using descriptive andinferential statistics. The major finding from the survey is that the impact of TVET has not beenimpressive because of ineffective QA at all levels. The practical implication of the paper is that forTVET to be impactful on technical progress, employability and national development there is need forthe policymakers to focus on critical areas such as finance, access/participation, quality assurance andrelevance of the programme to the needs of the country
