The Federal Capital Territory Administration (FCTA) says secondary schools in the territory are adapting to the demands of the 21st century through entrepreneurship education.

Dr Danlami Hayyo, Mandate Secretary in the Education Secretariat, stated this in Abuja on Monday, at the opening of a two-day training of FCT teachers on innovation and entrepreneurship education.

Hayyo, who was represented by the Permanent Secretary in the Secretariat, Mrs Joy Okeke, said that the FCT was repositioning its schools to produce students who could think independently, create confidently and compete globally.

He explained that the demands of the 21st century revolves around learners who were innovative, adaptable, entrepreneurial and capable of solving real-world problems.

He noted that the world was changing at an unprecedented pace, adding that the fourth industrial revolution has fundamentally altered the way people live, work and think.

According to him, traditional education systems that focus solely on academic theory and rote learning no longer suffice.
