The teaching of Business Education has not been as effective as it ought to be. It is therefore necessary to diagnose the various factors responsible for the mass failure of students and proper means by which the anomalies could be arrested. The importance of Business Education in the life of man need to be over emphasized, therefore if the subject is not effectively taught, the rudiment that are necessary for development of the basic concept of English language would be lacking at the secondary schools level and this could permeate the other state of the nation’s educational level.
