Technical Education
The education which provides special practical knowledge and skills is called technical education. It is different from general education. It makes learners well-skilled in the specific fields such as agriculture, carpentry, engineering, medicine, driving, piloting, etc. Technical education concerns with technology. The people who have speciality on the technical skill and knowledge are called technicians. Carpenters, drivers, mechanics, engineers, doctors, pilots and so on are technicians.
Technical education is very important for the development of a country. Technicians are needed in every field of the development and construction. To make factories, roads, bridges, canals, buildings, airports, etc. needs technicians. If a country has sufficient technical hands, it can develop its condition rapidly. In order to produce electricity, to work in mines, to grow enough crops and vegetables, we need different types of technicians. Technical education makes a country rich. If a country has more production of goods, it can feed its people easily. Foreign currency can be easily earned by selling the extra production to other countries. If we do not have required technicians, we have to hire them from other countries. They have to be paid more money as their salary. Through them, the money goes away. By the result, a country cannot be developed. It can be said that the development of a nation depends on technicians.
Technical education is very important to solve the problem of unemployment. Technical hands cannot be unemployed. They help in every field of development and construction. On the other hand, technical hands do not need to request others to give them jobs. They can start their business on their own. Thus technical education makes people independent. If they start their own trade, they can provide job opportunities to other educated people. Thus technical education helps us to solve the problem of unemployment as well as poverty.
In the context of Nepal, we do not have required technicians. We have to hire them from other countries. It is not good. Many educated people are unemployed because they do not have technical knowledge and skills. If they are given training on technical skills and knowledge; we can develop our country rapidly. Many technical hands have been working in our country for long time. Only a few technical institutes have been providing technical education. They are not sufficient to fulfill the demand of the country.
The economic progress of the nation depends on technical hands. Every country should give a high priority on technical education to uplift the prosperity of the nation as well as the economic status of an individual. If an individual is technically skilled and educated in the specific subject, he/she will definitely help in the development the nation.
