Professional education Or Technical education provides information and training of skills to deal with tools and
machines used in all fields of life. Its main objective is to
produce skilled workers for better performance at their job places. They are
trained to setup and use modern technology in their professions. It enhance is
not only personal skills but also job opportunities of the people. It ensures
self respect and dignity of labour in society. Technical Education also helps
to free society from unemployment, child labour, Street crime, begging and
other social evils.
In the
present age of Science and Technology, vocational and technical education is
very much important to meet the need of the time. Technical experts are needed
to run and maintain machines and tools in every sphere of life. The economic
prosperity of our country also depends upon its skilled workers. The rapid
economic growth is only possible with the use of Computer technology of modern
hardware and software. It needs qualified technical experts to set up and run
modern technology in the field of trade, commerce, agriculture and industry.
In this
age of global market, our agricultural and Industrial Products do not meet
International standard of quality. It is due to outdated technology non
technical staff and unskilled labour in all fields of life. Our educated people
are unable to get good jobs not only in Pakistan but also abroad because they
lack of technical expertise. As a result, there is a great distress among
educated people in the country.
Technical
education can also help to solve the problem of unemployment in our country. A
comprehensive plan of Vocational and Technical Education should be introduced
at National level. It should be started at Higher Secondary Level. The
youngster should be guided and motivated to understand the dignity of labour
and get vocational and Technical Education to meet the challenges of a present
time. Especially, women should be encouraged to share the economic burden of
the society by getting vocational and Technical Education. In this way, skilled
worker will be able to get jobs easily. They can also manage their own setup
and earn their friend.
Liberal
education, no doubt, is necessary for intellectual, spiritual and social uplift
of a society stop but, it does not meet the needs of the present age of Science
and Technology. The government should realize the situation. Our education
system should be modernized to ensure spiritual enhancement as well as economic
prosperity of society. Along with liberal education, vocational and Technical
Education should also be focused. The image of Pakistan cannot be made better
without economic prosperity. It is possible through vocational and Technical
Education. We will have to give honour to manual worker and dignity to labour.
