Purposive sampling technique was used to select the two technical colleges of education from the thirteen colleges of education. 161 TVET lecturers from the two colleges of education selected, participated in the study. A questionnaire was used as the instrument for data collection. The findings revealed that poor attitudes of parents and low Interest of the learner to learn TVET with mean score of 3.4 and 3.7 respectively are key factors affecting teaching of TVET programmes in Tertiary Institutions.
