Given below are two statements:

Statement I: Technical education is that which emphasises on the learning of techniques as technical procedures and necessary skills and aims at preparing technicians usually above the secondary level.

Statement II: There is no distinction between vocational education, industrial education and technical education.

In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer
from the options given below. 

Statement I defines technical education as emphasizing the learning of techniques, technical procedures, and necessary skills, with the aim of preparing technicians typically above the secondary level.

This statement is true.

• Technical education focuses on providing practical knowledge, skills, and training in specific technical areas, such as engineering, technology, or applied sciences.
• It aims to develop individuals who can contribute as technicians or skilled professionals in various industries or sectors.

Statement II states that there is no distinction between vocational education, industrial education, and technical education.

This statement is false.

• While there may be some overlap or similarities between these terms, there are distinct differences in their scope and focus.
• Vocational education
  • ​It  typically refers to education and training that prepares individuals for specific occupations or trades. It focuses on developing practical skills and knowledge directly related to specific job roles or industries.
• Industrial education
  • It often refers to educational programs that provide training and skills related to industrial or manufacturing processes and technologies.
  • Technical education,
    As mentioned in Statement I, has a broader scope and emphasizes the learning of techniques, technical procedures, and necessary skills across various technical fields or disciplines.

Therefore, Statement I is true in defining technical education, but Statement II is false as there are distinctions between vocational education, industrial education, and technical education.
