Technology is the power of development in many nations economy in this 21st century. Many developed nations in the western world have viable economy and strong technological background because of good educational foundation that was enhanced from the elementary stage of a child. Elementary education equips a child with good future background that will help to groom and prepare a child for future technological development and challenges. Nigeria as one of the developing countries in the world was used as a case study because of its poor educational background, which is the reason of this research on how to impart technological skills into children at the primary school level to enhance technological growth. To carry out this study three research questions were raised to guide the study with three hypotheses. All the primary schools in Nigeria were used as the population of the study. Questionnaire was the major instrument used for data collection. Data were analysed using mean and t-test analysis. Findings and recommendations were made to enhance the implementation of pre- vocational subjects in the developing Nations.

Hypothesis 2: There is no significant difference between the studying of pre-vocational subjects at the primary school level and technological development in Nigeria
Summary
Education is the most vital tool that is used in the development of a child future, education has transformed the life of man in this 21st century by making man to be socialized and civilized within his environment and beyond. Many researches carried out on early childhood education has shown that high quality child care experience support the development of social and academic skills that will facilitate children success in the school (Rebekah, Caitin, Jacqueline, and Elizabeth, 2013). From research and philosophy of a popular psychologist Jean Piaget that was carried out in children that was centred on the “Power of play” observed that children learn more efficiently, effectively and gain more knowledge through play activities. This was supported by Elkind (2008) who from his own study stated that children learn more and faster when they interact and play together. To make this research more elaborate and well focused, the general history of education in Nigeria as one of the developing countries that was used as a case study will be discussed, Education at the primary school level in Nigeria and Pre-Vocational education in Nigeria will be discussed, to enable this research achieve its set goals and objectives
