Abstract: Technological knowledge is increasingly vital for enhancing students’ understanding of complex concepts and fostering peer collaboration. Digital integration in vocational and technology education offers opportunities to enrich teaching, boost student engagement, and prepare learners for modern workforce demands. Despite its potential, research on digital competence in vocational education and training (VET) in Nigeria remains limited. This study explores the success factors and challenges of digital integration in Nigerian vocational and technology education. It examines strategies, resources, and barriers to identify factors influencing effective adoption and utilization of digital technologies. A meta-analysis highlights key success factors, including adequate training and professional development for educators and fostering a culture of lifelong learning. Challenges include inadequate infrastructure, unequal access to digital resources, and sustainability issues in adopting digital tools. The study emphasizes the need for a collaborative effort among stakeholders to provide adequate infrastructure and ensure widespread access to digital resources. These insights aim to enhance educational practices and inform policy frameworks for successful digital integration in Nigeria’s vocational and technical education sector.
