Scope of industrial education:
Industrial or technical education is the need of the hour. We cannot live without machines or without the people who work them.
Meaning of industrial education:
Industrial or technical education means teaching students and others about machines and techniques. They are taught about the parts of different machines and the ways of working and repairing them. They are also taught about the details of an industry or the working of a factory. Those students who get such education become industrial experts or technicians.
Need of technical education in developing countries:
A developing country needs more industrial experts and technicians. As time passes, we shall have to expand our industry. We shall have to set up more modern factories for making heavy and light machines. These factories will require well-qualified experts. So it is quite wise to start giving proper industrial and technical education even before establishes these factories and industries.
We have to make great progress in industry. At present, we produce machines like electric fans, cycles,Tube-well engines, motor cars, submarines,aero planes and machines for cotton mills. We shall have to set up huge steel mills and different heavy industries for this purpose. If we really do this, developing countries will be industrialized in the real sense. But we need a great number of industrial and technical experts for this purpose.
Need of Technicians:
We need technicians to use machines in agriculture. At present, we use quite a small number of tractors and other machines on our farms. But we may begin using them in a greater number to increase our agricultural production. Factories producing tractors etc. in a country will help that country in working on their farms with machines. But we shall need workshops and repairing shops to keep these machines in running condition. This means that industrial experts and technicians will look after and repair tractors and machines.
Even to keep our present industry good shape we need good technicians. We should educate and train people well in the industrial and technician fields.
In fact the work of a technician is much related to work of a scientist. A scientist may invent new machines or tell new techniques of making things. But the technicians and expert must be there to use those machines and techniques in factories.
How to give technical education:
Students can easily get industrial and technical education after passing the intermediate examination. There should be special industrial or technical colleges for such students. They may get industrial education there for one, two or three years. There should be separate courses for different industries like the cotton industry, the jutte industry, the cycle industry, the tractor industry and so on. After completing their courses, they should be able to get jobs in different factories, workshops, etc. in cities and villages.
We should have a proper number of well-educated and trained industrial experts and technicians. Then we shall be able to use coal, gas, electricity, etc. for better purposes in industries.
