Technical Education:
“Science is a key which unlocks for mankind a store of nature”
In the present day of keen competition and hard struggle, general education is found to be
insufficient to procure for man his livelihood. The number of men with general education is legion
and all the various departments where these men can be provided are literally packed. The
unemployment problem is growing keener and keener every day and unrest and discontent.
Technical education means teaching students some practical or mechanical art. It includes
training in trade, commerce, carpentry, weaving, agriculture, medicines and engineering. It helps
to meet the needs of today’s world of machines and those who get this education can become
experts or technicians.
Technical education plays a vital role in the modern age. It produces engineers, builders,
technicians, doctors etc. It promotes the material and economic advancement. People begin to
have faith in dignity of labour. We can save a lot of foreign exchange if we have our own experts.
“Man loves to wonder and that is seed of science”
Technical education is lacking in Pakistan. Our schools and colleges produce who are fit to be only
clerks or something else. Our youth hankers after office jobs, they dislike to work hate to practice
practical skills and due to this unemployment is on the rise in country. Our country is full of
resources but unfortunately we can’t utilize them due to the lack of technical knowledge.
“Science is nothing but trained and organized common sense”
We can speedily progress by using machines. We should setup up industries to become self-
sufficient in food and for this we would have to hire qualified and well trained experts to handle
and look after these machines and this is possible if we have enough schools and colleges where
technical education is imparted to students.
Pakistan is a developing country, we have to build new roads, hospitals, damns and much more
and for this we need engineers and skilled workers and we could be able to use natural resources
to make our country develop. The idea of dignity of labour should be popularized among students
and they should be encouraged to get this education for bright future.
In Short, technical education makes a country rich, prosperous and resourceful but it also has
limitations. Too much of technical education turn a man into a machine. We should never lose
our sense of proportion and should have an element of liberal education in technical education.
“A man of science is just a student of nature and derives his inspiration from it”
