Importance of Technical Education .Written by Waseem Hyder
IMPORTANCE OF TECHNICAL EDUCATION.Education is important for every individual in a nation. It plays a vital role to change stare of a country. No country could bring a revolution in it unless its people are educated enough to meet challenges. Education makes a man realize about himself and his goals and how to achieve that goals. Basically, Education is divided into three groups. The Education which teaches concerns of a society is called Social Education. The Education which develops a personality inside a man himself is called Spiritual Education. The Education that concerns with professionalism is called Vocational Education. The Technical Education comes under branch of Vocational Education which deals practically in field of trade, commerce, agriculture, medicine & Engineering. We are living in modern age of science where we found Technologies in every aspect of life. What makes life so easy for us… simply; these are Technologies which we use for our ease and comforts. Not only in our daily life but also in research centre, in defensive measured of a country, biological aspects etc. No nation could make progress unless it promotes technical aspects in its fields. The technical education produces technicians for all type of industries and it is true that progress of a country much depend upon its Industrialization without which a handsome economy would not be possible. Using a technology is far easier than to develop it. For developing a technology, it needed high skill teams which have a high knowledge for theme. It also needed a high amount of time and also money. To fulfill all these, there must be technical institutes which must cover all faculties of technological studies and also support of government to support financially & to make it at international level. If it would be at International level then it would be easier to students to acquire knowledge in their own state so that they could do something for their own country. Pakistan leads in technological era. The exhibition canters in Pakistan plays a vital role in backing up technicians to come up with more and more new technologies because it gives reflection of our technologies to foreigners which are representing their country, which means we are reflecting our image to that world. By this we have a sense of development and prosperity that we also produce creative mind in technological aspect.

EDUCATION - TESTING INDUSTRY - LEARNING STYLES: - What is aptitude? Why must people work within a social framework that values following 'norms' of intellect and has questions on tests rather than judgments of soulful and ethical actual behavior? The book 'Emotional Intelligence' makes a good case for EQ rather than IQ. Kaoru Yamamoto of University of Colorado describes making, coaching, and taking of tests seem like all our teachers are learning. He correctly identifies flawed ability to maintain or generate effective learning by turning process into unwilling students being force fed by uncharismatic automatons without authority. Most teachers know they are little more than 'glorified baby-sitters' and so they don't want to be held accountable. Accountable to tests that value regurgitation is not accountable to real value. They have lots of good arguments on all sides of issue because fundamental premises are hugely flawed. Some social scientists make a very good point about purpose of education in our recent history when they note Industrial Revolution sought workers to punch time clocks and follow bosses and their minion's orders. The homogenization of memorization being key to learning assumes something worse than what isn't in evidence. It is not evident that linear logical processes or competency in memory skills is paramount to functioning character development of productive people. In fact we have ample reason to limit these skills now that hand held or wristwatch sized data bases are able to connect to near total knowledge networks. Forgetting that important point, we must understand what education and teaching really is supposed to achieve. Simple common sense alone would indicate a high priority should exist in augmentation of interest in learning and joys it may offer a person throughout their life. Co-operative and social integrational skills teaching are well enough developed in science of education and should be given more support. In Canada word ‘co-operative’ is used but purposes of learning style (Take a look at H. Gardner's work which now has eight distinct learning style proficiencies.) and personality differences aren't known by teachers who think co-operative learning means some kind of teamwork between teachers, students and parents. Group dynamics within student’s core appreciation of purpose and relating to each other is more point. Seeing benefits of a good creative spatial competency in another person within group and learning most important things are useful creative outputs rather than some goal established by someone outside group, might have more merit. The compassionate diplomatic and purposeful ethic of net additional value rather than homogenized adherence to hypocritical unquestioned pablum with frequent prejudicial or egoistically infused judgement needs support. Celebration of relevant new approaches that offer explorations of new perspectives without a sense of black and white answers are seldom found and character seems to be judged according to how well we imitate or fit prevailing 'norm'. How can we maintain a desire to explore that is born into human core courage to know something more than personal? When will knowing how to cope with sexual, sensual psychological nurturing and other life skills including how to make each other healthier become valued? The old emphasis on individuals enjoying each others different character becomes lost in a maze of peer and social structure. Is it possible that people will learn to read and communicate at different times in their life? Recent research shows that men learn math best, later than women. Language and communication engages young brain more fully and should be focused upon at ages before seven. The Bardic schools knew these things and had young people work as jesters and minstrels early in process. Physiologically we can say there are 350,000 neural connections possible that become atrophied to point most people use only half of them. What about thinking? It isn't dumping of data - it requires integrating and making judgments. Perhaps we are encouraging a lack of judgement as an over-compensation against old racial ideologies or because authoritarian religions sought faith-full 'followers'. Maybe it is because armies of feudal lords wanted hateful and macho murderers; and parenting became a castle for power ‘over’ rather than nurture FOR children. Children are not property of parents as much as they are rightful and important members of tribe, clan or larger social unit. These things were known in pre-Christian times when women weren't property (Hammurabi's Code specifies and Biblical baby-factories enforced) of men.
