What is the Importance of Technical Education
Introduction
Education is the backbone of any society. In today’s world, technical education has become very important. It is not just about reading books or passing exams. Technical education means learning practical skills that can help a person get a good job or even start their own business. In Pakistan, many young people are struggling to find jobs. Normal degrees do not always help in getting work. This is why technical education is becoming a need in our country.
What is Technical Education
Technical education means education that gives skills and training. It can be in fields like computer, electrician, mechanic, tailoring, plumbing, mobile repairing, graphic design, and many more. The goal is to make a person able to work with their hands and knowledge. This type of education is more practical and less theoretical. A person who learns technical skills can earn money faster than a person who only has a simple degree.
Importance of Technical Education in Pakistan
Pakistan is a young country. Around 64 percent of the population is under the age of 30. But sadly, a big part of these young people are unemployed. Every year, thousands of students complete their education, but they do not find good jobs. One of the main reasons is a lack of skills. Technical education can reduce this problem. With skills, young people can get jobs not only in Pakistan but also in other countries.
According to reports, Pakistan needs around 2 million skilled workers every year for its industries. But the number of skilled people is very low. If more youth get technical education, then Pakistan can reduce unemployment and also increase economic growth. Technical education also helps in reducing poverty because it gives people a chance to earn with dignity.
Benefits of Technical Education
The first benefit is that it provides jobs. A person who knows a skill can find work easily. For example, an electrician or a mobile repair expert will always find work. The second benefit is self-employment. Many people start their own shop or online work after learning technical skills. The third benefit is that technical education reduces brain drain. Many students go abroad in search of jobs. If they have skills, they can even start small businesses here in Pakistan.
Another benefit is that industries also grow fast when they have skilled workers. Factories, IT companies, and service centers all need trained people. Without technical education, the growth of industry becomes slow.
Technical Education and Society
Technical education not only helps individuals but also society. When more people get jobs, crime rates go down. When families have a stable income, they can send their children to school. Skilled people also provide services to others in daily life. For example, a plumber, a mechanic, or a computer technician is always needed. So, technical education makes life better for the whole society.
Situation of Technical Education in Pakistan
In Pakistan, the number of technical institutes is still low. Many rural areas have no access to such education. Also, many people think that only weak students go for technical education. This is the wrong mindset. In developed countries, technical education is given equal respect as higher education. Pakistan must change its thinking if it wants to progress. Reports say that less than 10 percent of youth in Pakistan are getting technical or vocational training. This is a very small number compared to the need.
