Abstract
This study investigated, the Management of Innovative Education at Junior Secondary School Level: A Sure Poverty Tackling Measure for the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) in Rivers State. Descriptive survey design was used for the study. A 20-Item opinion survey instrument titled, “Managing Innovative Education to tackling Poverty for the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals” was developed and used. The instrument was validated by three experts from the department of educational management. Test-retest was conducted to obtain the needed data. From the data, relative coefficient index of 76% (reliability) was calculated by the use of Pearson relative correlation coefficient statistical tool. The instrument was then administered on a population of 60 teachers. The results were analyzed using averages and percentages to answer the research questions while the hypotheses were tested by the use of t-test. The analyses of the results revealed that innovative education is highly needed at the junior secondary (JSS 1- 3).Students at this point are of average age 12 and above and are in their transitional period from late childhood into teenagers. They are also experiencing promotion from middle to upper basic education. At age 12, students are becoming conscious to realities. It was discovered that students’ formal involvements in skills development education would create awareness for self-reliance economy. Based on these findings, it was recommended that economic yielding subject (Agric & Creative Arts) should be compulsory in the schools and center for skill acquisition programmes be opened in every local Government Headquarters for students. Industrial attachment to tackling poverty should be made available.
