Promote the Growth of Technical Training
28 October 2008
As per karnataka technical education Board to promote the growth of vocational and technical training what we need is: * To improve the educational infrastructure in rural areas. * Strengthening awareness campaigns particularly in rural areas regarding utility of vocational courses. * Providing guidance and counseling facilities in all schools in rural and urban areas. * Opening up hostel facilities particularly for the dis- advantaged girl child so that she can benefit from those institutions providing vocational courses located in urban areas. * Making vocational and technical courses local specific and need based. * Dissemination of information through print and audio-visuals about courses offered in the area of vocational & technical courses. * Strengthening Socially Useful Productive Work (SUPW) in the school curriculum. * Apart from the above workable strategies what is needed is to adopt a multi-pronged approach to promote vocational & technical education among rural and urban girls. * Involvement and sensitization of parents, teachers & community about the significance of this kind of education which needs to be emphasized and promoted.
