Technical education is entirely different from formal education in the sense that the latter aims at training the mind, purifying the emotions, disciplining the heart and nourishing the artistic side of man. Whereas the main objective of technical education is to teach the students a sort of trade and commerce and provide them training in a special branch of industry. It would be more befitting to say that its basic aim is to train or couch skilled workers, engineers, mechanics and builders. Education can be categorized into main three parts such as:
•           Social education,
•           Moral education and
•           Technical education.
Political or social education teaches us how to live in a society; moral education helps us build our character and moral in a positive way. Last but not the least technical education provides us education and coaching in various skills in order to make us coin our bread and butter.
Ours is an age of science and technology. Technical education is the dire need of our times. The engineers, builders and mechanics are the most beneficial portion of an industrial society. Without them the whole industrial system would be paralyzed and crippled therefore, technical education is the foundation of industrial progress and development.


It should be the duty of every country to make it sure that a goodly member of its country folks are getting the necessary technical training. It is regretted to say that our youth still long for office jobs. They are reluctant to learn practical skills and detest working in factories and mills. But the white collar jobs available in offices are from pillar to post to seek lofty jobs which can satisfy their ego and self respect. But it is irony of the fate that wherever they go with a roll of degrees and diplomas under their arm, they find the same irritating reply, 'No vacancy'. If all the young men are to be employed in useful enterprise, they must cast away their prejudice against manual work. 
The people living in the society must also learn to show their respect to those who like to work with their own hands. Society must provide fur its material existence and for the running of its machines. The efficiency of a community depends on the quality and the extent of its technical education. Hundreds of technical and vo.,ational institutes throughout the country are preparing young men and women for a huge variety of trades and handicrafts, for example, woodwork, embroidery, doll making, wicker work and dress designing. We can form a crystal clear 'idea of its scope and aim, if we contrast it with education in humanities where the emphasis is on language, literature, history and philosophy.

Technical education is mostly concerned with technology and the mechanical art with the upkeep and running of machinery.,yermany, France and England were among the first to sense the big benefit of technical education. Their industry spread widely had gone rise to keen commercial competition. The reputation of a manufacturing country happened to depend on the quality and efficiency of its machine. The need for qualified technical hands was felt most acutely and a system of technical education was devised. 
Pakistan is a backward country from industrial point of view. Of course, a number of new industries have been set up here, but still a long way to go in this respect. The starting industries should be accompanied by the opening of technical institutes. Indiscriminate admission to colleges and universities should be stopped because Pakistan needs an army of skilled and trained workers. Still more technical schools and colleges are being demanded throughout the country because the future lies in industry. Another factor which in recent years has boosted the significance of technical education is the growing demand in foreign countries for technical and skilled young men from Pakistan. 

There is no dearth of talent in our country. The oil producing nations like Saudi Arabia, Nigeria and the Gulf states prefer to recruit technicians from Pakistan to help them in the race for quick development. Ours is a poor country. Unless a large number of skilled workers are available to execute our various schemes and projects our prosperity will remain only a dream. No doubt, it is our technical education that the future of our country depends on. Literary education should not be banished altogether. Without it, a technician will be devoid of high morality and virtues. 
"Industry without art", said Ruskin "is barbarism.
