Technical education means the practical application of the general principles and

methods of Scientific studies to the teaching of some trade, profession or handicraft.

The importance such training in a country like Ours is quite obvious. In Pakistan, more

co
than eighty percent of the population is agricultural and another ten percent is

industrial. So we cannot afford to overemphasize literary education and ignore technical

t education.

In view of the modern age of advancement, it is a fact that an independent Pakistan

//w

Cannot keep pace with advanced countries unless we direct our attention to technical
instruction. We also need to correct the present faulty system of education.
s:

An American thinker has said, There are two obvious kinds of education.

One should teach how to live

The other how to make a living.

Unfortunately, in our country, we are only taught how to live we do not know how to
make a living. We are brought to know and learn literature and history but we lack
practical knowledge and training. That is why our student has to face so many problems

when he enters the practical world. He runs from pillar to post in search of a job but
everywhere finds the same depressing reply, “No Vacancy”. Such disappointments
make them commit suicide or if at all life, live a Wretched life full of cares and worries.

It is rightly said that there are only three ways of earning one’s livelihood, working,
begging and stealing. If someone fails to earn by the first method that is by working, it

t/
is natural that one will certainly adopt begging or stealing. Therefore, a young man who

ne
has failed to seek a job and earn by working must inevitably turn out to be either a
beggar or a stealer. The question arises who is responsible for this production of

y.
beggars and stealers.

ud
The answer is wanted of technical instruction in Our School and colleges. So, if we do

t
not want our educational institutions to produce a generation of beggars and stealers

n e
but that of the honest upright gentleman then it is essential to teach the boys and girls

in some special branch of industry, mechanism, handicraft, trade or a profession. In this

u
way, at the end of their educational career, they are able to find employment and earn

their living easily and respectfully.

Advantages of Technical Education
ec

co
he
Technical education has manifold advantages. Technical education Solves the problem
.th

t
Of unemployment. It supplies industries with a large body of trained workers. Technical
w

education will pay for the education of our children and make them studious and self-
supporting. Pakistan is a poor country. We do not have adequate means to finance
w

studies so technical education shares the financial burden of the parents.

Disadvantages of Technical Education

s:

Technical education is also subject to some disadvantages. Literary education is quite

tp

necessary. Criticizing the excess of technical education, if literary Schools are a training-
ht

ground of clerks, the technical Schools would have a large number of children workers.
A true form of education is one that aims at the full and harmonious development of all
aspects of human personality. Literary education should also be imparted to follow
noble ideals and aspirations of life. Otherwise, we will be devoid of the consideration of
morality and high virtues. He may indulge in bad habits and waste his money, which he
earns by virtue of his technical qualifications.

“Technical education centres should provide instruction in

Technical or industrial education means education in the use of different kinds of

machines and techniques of the industry. Those who obtain (get) such education learn
the parts or components of machines and the ways of working and repairing them.

They also learn about the production and use of their spare parts.

We need industrial education to run our different industries and to expand them. We

t u le
have the cloth, sugar, iron and other industries. There commodities (things) are

produced that we use every day. Technical (or industrial) knowledge is necessary for us

to run these industries. We have to make quick industrial progress. We have to set up

new industries manufacturing (producing) heavy machines like a car, and airplane

engines. It is possible only if we have highly educated industrial and technical experts.

experts to work them: So we should provide technical education of the best quality to
those who desire to become such experts. Now we have to raise new dams and

Those students, who pass the matriculation or Intermediate examination, can join
industrial or technical institutions. There should be a large number of such institutions
all over the country. We should have highly qualified technical experts needed to plan
and set up new industries… They are also needed to supervise the work of industrial
workers and technicians and to guide them. We have engineering colleges and

universities that provide engineers and technical experts. These engineers and
technicians should know the latest industrial techniques and methods.

We do have technical or industrial institutions where technicians, foremen (workers

directing and supervising other workers), overseers, etc. get educated and trained. We
should have more of such institutions. Better facilities for training industrial workers

t/
should be made available. We need first-rate technical education in the country. We

ne
cannot progress fast without having properly trained industrial experts, technicians, and
workers.
