The rate at which the unemployment issue is going now in the country has become a cankerworm that is affecting the development and the growth of the nation mostly in Nigeria today; so there is the need to look for an alternative ways or methods to reduce the rate of unemployment as a way of transformation that would bring about self-reliance and economic development. This paper looked at practical application of chemistry concept through chalk production. Twenty schools were randomly selected that consist of 10 primary and 10 secondary schools .In each school ten teacher were chosen making a total population of two hundred respondents and each school were giving one packet of chalk equivalent to five pieces per each teacher to teach in the classroom within Lafiagi metropolis in Edu Local Government of Kwara state, Nigeria. To compare laboratory produce chalk with commercially produced one, the results from the respondents were collected and analyzed using frequency and simple percentage. From the findings it was observed that laboratory produce chalk can compete favorably with commercially produce chalk both in texture, size, and durability. It was suggested that the mold should be properly cleaned, must be tightened to avoid splitting of chalk mixture, appropriate measurement of materials and addition of kerosene as a lubricant. The recommendations include making practical compulsory in chemistry teaching, introduction of chalk production into school curriculum of tertiary institutions, giving adequate required facility and encourage students for skills acquisition.
