Question

Explain the concept and importance of vocationalisation of Education.

Answer 1

Vocational education is education that prepares people to work as a technician or in various jobs such as a trade or a craft. Vocational education is sometimes referred to as career education or technical education.[1] A vocational school is a type of educational institution specifically designed to provide vocational education.

Vocational education can take place at the post-secondary, further education, and higher education level; and can interact with the apprenticeship system. At the post-secondary level vocational education is often provided by highly specialized trade Technical schools, community colleges, colleges of further education (UK), universities, as well as Polytechnic Institutes (Institutes of technology).

Until recently,[when?] almost all vocational education took place in the classroom, or on the job site, with students learning trade skills and trade theory from accredited professors or established professionals. However, online vocational education has grown in popularity, and made it easier than ever for students to learn various trade skills and soft skills from established professionals in the industry.

The World Bank's 2019 World Development Report on the future of work ] suggests that flexibility between general and vocational education particularly in higher education is imperative to enable workers to compete in changing labor markets where technology plays an increasingly important role
