Students’ Perceptions Regarding the Role of Technical Education and Vocational Training Institutes in Uplifting their Computer Competency in City, Faisalabad

Abstract

    Technical education is crucial for Pakistan's economic progress, providing earning skills and employment opportunities. However, many people focus on earning degrees instead of focusing on technical education. A study was conducted at two female TEVTA public educational institutes in Faisalabad, focusing on computer appliance courses. The study found that vocational educational institutes improve skills through learning by doing with, while technological gadgets are the second-ranking skill. Basic level courses are the third-ranking skill. Technical and vocational institutes play a significant role in developing students' confidence and changing their lives. The study suggests that high authorities should manage educational resources in these institutes to improve the educational quality. The study highlights the need for higher authorities to address the lack of interest in technical education among head teachers and students.
