Job-oriented education! What is this phrase? Education that trains a student for any particular job is called a job-oriented education. The policy makers have, many a times, framed different curricula, and they have also recommended the teaching of several trades between ninth standard and the eleventh standard for three years.

This kind of education has been christened vocational education and it imparts education in trades like carpentry, secretarial course, smithy and such others. This kind of reform came to be implemented in our schools. This was undertaken in view of the increase in the number of educated unemployed.

Mahatma Gandhi was the earlier seen to lay emphasis on skill-based education even at the primary stage. Similarly, we also had Jawaharlal Nehru who said that education must not only make learned citizens but producers. This has become more imperative in India today with far beyond control increase in the population and with the ever increasing multitudes of unemployed persons. It is also necessary for our students to keep abreast of the latest developments in science and technology.
