Education may be divided into two classes general and technical. The education which provides special practical knowledge and skills in known as technical education. It is different from general education. General education aims at filling the mind with general knowledge of arts and sciences. Technical education is training in practical arts and science. It means learning particular art or science by actual practice. The people who have special technical skills and knowledge are called technicians. Carpenter, drivers, mechanics, engineers, doctors, pilots, and so on are technicians.
There are various branches of technical education such as engineering, commercial, medical, industrial, and agricultural. The present education system of Bangladesh may be broadly divided into three major stages, viz. general education, madrasa education, and technical education.
The prosperity of a country depends on her industry and industry again depends on technical knowledge. No nation can develop without a large number of technically qualified men. Infect, the most prosperous countries are those that have advanced in technical education. The government tries to ensure that the course curriculum should be relevant to students’ interests and aspirations while at the same time it should address the needs of the job market.
