Former school workshops may offer a lesson for industrial capacity, columnist Deji Olatoye wrote in BusinessDay, pointing to technical facilities that once equipped many secondary schools.

In an essay published Wednesday, Olatoye ties those workshops to the discontinued 6-3-3-4 education system. He presents the system as a source of ideas for industrial capacity.

Olatoye points to workshops that combined woodworking space with kilns, lathes and welding equipment.
