Job oriented Education (or) Vocational education

A great scholar said life is education and education is life! James Masefield states, one should learn to laugh away worries. Experience is gained by practice in the field in which one is placed. A perfect experience comes to one who has received a good education. Knowledge acquired without good education is useless. Education should help meet the challenges of life.

It should make the learner well disciplined, well informed about him and his surroundings and accommodate himself to others. Bookish knowledge is harmful to the learner. So work oriented education should be introduced in the curriculum. The society should decide what type of people it requires. According to its need, the schools and colleges should prepare students giving varieties of work.

The experience gained in such academic institutions makes a student free from the innate fear of future. It gives him courage to meet the problems of the society. It strengthens both the hand and the mind. If the students are engaged in such a way, it prevents them from being lazy and involving themselves in agitation. First of all, the younger generation will become the real nation builders of a country.

It encourages them to stand on legs and start a new industry or a new factory. As a result the economic conditions of a nation will become better. It also eliminates the unemployment problem as it gives way to self employment schemes. So work or job oriented education integrated the diversified elements in the society. It is the basic idea of our New Education Policy.
