ABSTRACT

It is a fact, universally acknowledged, that present era is of technology.

We can not connive at its importance and productivity after we witness the Western

Countries and a number of Asian Countries as well, who have not only carved out their

niche by imparting technical education to their aspiring youth but consequent thereupon

have touched the very zenith and apex of development in the field of technology.

The research reveals that the prevalent scenario in Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa

in comparison reflects rather an antithesis and a dismal picture. In this province, technical

education can only entice and allure the left over students, who have not accepted or not

able to get enrolled by the other sundry streams in general education.

The need of the hour is to acquaint and familiarize students, in particular,

not only with the viability and importance of Technical, Vocational and Commercial

Education but also with the fact that how much trained and skilled workforce is required

for our country in general and in this Province (Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa) in particular.

In pursuit with organising, regularising and supervising the Technical,

Vocational & Commercial Education, the government had established two different

directorates i.e. Directorate of Technical Education and Directorate of Manpower and

Page 12: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

Training in 1971 and 1986 respectively. By realising the working environment and

functions of both the organisations i.e. human resource development, the government

merged both the organisations by establishing a joint Directorate General of Technical

Education and Manpower Training during the year 2007.

iv

The present organisation strives at attaining the goals and objectives set by

the government for enhancing knowledge, skill and capabilities of unprivileged class in

the field of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education.

The Directorate General of Technical, and Manpower Training being a

government representative agency ensures to implement all the rules and regulations,

promulgated by the provincial government, and related to Technical, Vocational &

Commercial Education. Having a close link with industries, it purviews not only

Technical, Vocational & Commercial Education and Manpower Training but also Board

of Technical Education (BTE) and Trade Testing Board (TTB) Technical Teacher

Training Institute (TTTI). It is also playing its pivotal role on the works of Technical and

Vocational Training System (TEVT), Child Labour Training and Human Skill

Development in Women.

In this research the reviewed literature that imbibes that crux and nitty-

gritty of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education is to train and develop the

students of various disciplines related to skill and human resource development.

Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education provides to the student ample

opportunities of earning with futuristic perspectives of business of any sort.

The study is based on primary data i.e. stems on different questionnaires,

distributed among students and faculty. The research questions and objectives of the

study were that how the contribution of Technical, Vocational and Commercial

Education is considered by all the stake holders, how the faculty link their career with

Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education, how do the students receive and

Page 13: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

perceive the Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education and to what extant the

students are clear about the importance scope and career. Further what are the main

variable and contributor which clarify the option of selection of Technical, Vocational

and Commercial Education, to find out the clarity, satisfaction, emotional, and

v

Professional attachment with Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education and to

identify both in quantitative and in qualitative terms the economic and social contribution

of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education.

It transpires different bent of mind towards satisfaction level, that the

decision to join the Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education contributes

towards the social and economic development both directly and indirectly, future career

and viability of this system of education in the long run. For analysis purpose descriptive

statistics have been used and the findings have been presented in tabular form. The

findings of the research indicates mostly both the students and faculty are satisfied with

their decision for opting this stream of education and believe that this system (Technical,

Vocational & Commercial Education) contributes to the country in general and Khyber

Pakhtoonkhwa in particular. Further the students and faculty both are optimistic about the

shining future of their own as well as this stream of education.

The research work candidly divulges that modern era is of Technical

Education which not only explores new vistas of livelihood to the youth but also

broadens their vision to realise the challenges this country is encountered with. It opens

novel realms and domains of innovation emerge as developed country in this region.

For future research it is recommended that to enhance the technical know-

how the government is required to pay attention to establish Technical, Vocational and

Commercial Education Institutes in all Tehsil level and in the major semi urban areas of

the province. Further trade & commerce exhibitions, workshops

Page 14: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

vi

& seminars may be arranged for greater awareness of the students and gentle societal

forces. Also to increase and develop the linkage with the industry and to introduce the

Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education at school level. The government is

aught to pay attention to establish Technology and Technical University in the province

and to provide incentives in the establishment of private institutions of Technical,

Vocational and Commercial Education with a close check and balance system. In

addition public private partnership needs to be facilitated. The donor countries may also

provide opportunities for higher studies, specialized training, transfer of technology and

facilitate in lessen the burden of unemployment by introducing new trades in the exiting

Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education institutions.

CHAPTER # 1

SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, VOCATIONAL & COMMERCIAL EDUCATION:

A CASE STUDY OF TECHNICAL, VOCATIONAL & COMMERCIAL EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS OF

KHYBER PAKHTUNKHWA, PAKISTAN. INTRODUCTION:- Education is the process of establishing habits of critical and independent

thinking and appraisal of information for the purpose of intellectual development of the

individual as a whole. Socrates held that the real learning begins with the confession of

ones ignorance. Education can take place formally in schools (with teachers, students,

courses, books and activities). It can also take place in homes, streets or meeting places

where ideas and information are exchanged (Harkavy 1996).

With the passage of time and development of civilization rapid changes

have been noticed both in formal and informal education. To cultivate the formal

education with more specialized angles and dimensions, many branches with

sophisticated, thin, narrow as well as wide branches like engineering, commerce,

medicine, linguistics, social science, earth sciences, agriculture, forestry and technologies

have been established and now each branch or specialization is contributing towards the

social and economic change and development of the society.

Technical Education is an application of science to practical human ends –

particularly to increase the productivity and the availability of leisure and to improve the

quality of life. Technical Education exists since ancient times like in tool making, in

agriculture it has improved crop yields, and in industry it has brought changes like more

production with minimum labour as well as more job opportunities with rapid

industrialization. Besides industrial development, technological improvement has made

the labour less stressful and free from hazards, work hours have been reduced with the

help of major technological changes.

Page 17: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

Technical Education is a medium through which student gets academic,

vocational and professional training. And it enables the qualified students to have their

own ventures. To apply for jobs also requires know-how of science and modern

technologies. Usually the level of job is above traditionally skilled crafts and below

engineering and scientific levels.

Generally Technical Education comes under the branch of vocational

education and covers wide areas of vocational education like trades, Commerce,

Agriculture, Engineering, Garments, Beautician and other advanced crafts. Because of

these wide varieties in Pakistan the Technical, Vocational & Commercial education has

been segmented in Polytechnic Institutes, Vocational Institutes, Commerce and Business

Institutes and some certificate granting centres in Textile, Garments and Gems. Further

Technical Education contributes to GDP & GNP of a country. It makes a country

prosperous and resourceful. In Pakistan every year a good number of technical experts

come out from initial training, join advanced level training, degree courses at various

universities along-with a sizable number join work force both at domestic market and

foreign market particularly UAE and neighbouring countries. In addition, a fair number

of qualified experts starts their own business and provide direct and indirect job

opportunities to blue and pink colour labour force.

To day technologies have become all pervasive and no single realm of life

can be quoted which has improved without the help of technological presence. Keeping

in view this reality in mind now all those responsible for timely & effective planning for

economic development and social prosperity are focussing on technical and vocational

education SMEDA, SME bank and other financial institutions have opened special

windows for assistance, guidance and financial support of these persons who can really

contribute both in urban and rural areas of the country. Realizing this fact the Ministry of

Industries, Commerce and education is focussing on the establishment of Trade,

Engineering Technology and Commerce Centres at each Tehsil and District level and is

providing special assistance in the education expenses.

Page 18: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

Taking into consideration the increase in productivity, Hussain (2002) suggested

to set-up Technical, Vocational & Commercial Education Institutes at places where these

clusters exist. He further contends that these institutes of Technical and Vocational

Education, with a charter of education and training, should be comparable to the best

international standards. He further said that Vocational Training continuously provide

trained manpower to Industry and Agriculture, therefore, the faculty will have to impart

training and education as well as to act as a consultant in the fields of management and

technology. This will rectify the most gearing deficiencies in operation and management,

which are so rampant in Pakistan Industry and Agriculture and as a result thereof

productivity will improve, waste and inefficiency will decrease.

Biship (2006) has identified that up-till the end of 20th century, Vocational

Education focused on specific trade such as an automobile mechanic or welder and was

therefore, associated with the activities of lower strata of the society and as a

consequence, it attracted a level of stigma. But the same education has been diversified

over the 20th century and now it exists in industries such as retails tourism, Information

Technology, funeral service, cosmetics, traditional crafts and college industries and is

contributing to social and economic development of society.

Walts (2001) while studying the social benefits of higher education in

Kentucky has identified mainly economic benefits in the form of higher earnings and

higher state and federal tax revenue to fund tax-supported programs, reduced welfare

dependency, lower crime costs, healthier life style, social gains including increased

volunteerism, charities giving and participation in and leadership of community

organization. Additional participation in cultural activities has also been reported.

The institute of higher education policy at Washington D.C (1998) has

studied the same issues i.e. cost and benefits of technical and vocational education and

reported the economic benefit including increased tax revenues, greater productivity,

increased consumption, increase in work force flexibility and decreased reliance on the

government support.

Page 19: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

If higher degree and diploma holders are studied in the field of Technical

and Vocational Education the presence of all above mentioned benefits can be checked,

analysed and evaluated.

In our country technical and vocational education provides courses that

can fetch a graduation and in Commerce / Trade even to post graduation degree level to a

student. Some programs have been designed for already working component and even for

child labour. To bring the female workforce to the utilizable level special courses have

been established for female only where they receive professional training and courses. In

some of the courses special employers is drawn on establishment of own small business

units so the benefits could go deeply to the grass root level.

As the need for more technical experts is increasing, technical &

vocational and commercial education is helping out in ways to create trained manpower

in these trades and technologies. As a result this trained manpower help the countries

economy, contribute to social change, more employment opportunity and less

dependency on government for employment. Therefore, the study in hand will greatly

emphasise to dig-out the salient features of technical, vocational & commercial education

and to highlight its contribution in all aspects of life, particularly in social, cultural and

economic change.

Ministry of Education Policy and Planning Wing, Government of Pakistan

in its report of 2005 has clearly realized the need and importance of Technical Education

and introduced technical education in secondary schools. The report further says for

poverty alleviation and sustaining growth, Pakistan requires a mixture of skilled workers,

tradesman, technicians, technologists, engineers, and Research & Development

Scientists. This manpower particularly comes from Polytechnic Institutes, Commercial

Training Institutes and Vocational Training Institutes operating under Labour Manpower,

Social welfare, Industries, Agriculture etc and other apprenticeship Program.

1.1 OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The main objectives of the study are to determine the potential contribution of technical, vocational and commercial education in the social and economic development of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the other objectives includes;

To what extent the students are clear about the importance, scope and career, which can be achieved through Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education.

What are the main variable / contributor which clarify the option of selection of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education as future careers field?

To find out the clarity, satisfaction and emotional as well as professional attachment of the faculty with Technical and Professional Education, and

To identify both in quantitative and qualitative terms the economic, employment and other contributors of Technical, Vocational and Commercial institutes established in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Page 21: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

1.2 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

In advanced countries like USA Association for career and technical education was formed in 1926 which at national level build a career in technical education.

On similar lines many association and bodies have been formed in European community, Korea, Malaysia, and in Turkey and even in India but in Pakistan in general and in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in particular it is assumed that the left over students i.e. who failed to get admissions in pre medical, pre engineering and other institutions of repute opt for registration in Technical, Vocational and Commercial Institutions. And if a detailed survey is conducted this assumption may surface as a reality. In this context both the institutions and public can be considered very much passive as neither the technical and vocational institutions have launched a massive campaign toward the awakening of people nor the general public has searched the reality. In addition the private sector Technical, Vocational and Commercial institutions have also played a very passive role. These institutions have not provided attractive and conducive education environment to the students and resultantly the enrolled students are not clear about their future nor do they suggest to their youngsters to opt for these disciplines / technologies as a future career.

In the study in hand the following areas have been deeply studied with reference to social, cultural and economic contribution of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education:

i. Faculty Satisfaction with their job.

ii. Selection of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education as a career.

iii. The contribution of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Educational

institutions in employment and business opportunities, and

iv. The satisfaction which the students derived from their career selection (field

of specialization) and growth in their respective field of study.

Page 22: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

1.3 RESEARCH QUESTIONS.

The first purpose of the study was to analyse the economic and social contribution of Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. The second objective of the study is to know the degree i.e. to what extent the faculty and students are clear about the selection of their field of employment and study as a career respectively.

The following research questions have been directly or indirectly asked.

1- How the contribution of Technical, Vocational and Commercial

Education is considered by all stakeholders?

2- How do the faculty link their career with Technical, Vocational

and Commercial Education?

3- How do the students receive and perceive the Technical,

Vocational and Commercial Education as a career.

1.4 HYPOTHESIS OF THE STUDY.

H1 The Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education have great contribution towards economic and social section and justify the government expenditure.

Ho The Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education’s economic and social contribution if rationalized, do not justify the huge expenditure of Government and other donors

H2 The students and faculty are clear in selecting Technical,

Vocational and Commercial Education as their future career.

Ho The students and faculty have selected Technical, Vocational and

Commercial Education by chance and are not clear about their

future career.

but amended in 2002

Functions of TTB

Registration of trainees in Public and Private Sector’s Training Centres.

Affiliation of Private Training Centres.

To conduct Final Trade Tests of Trainees

Certification of the pass out Trainees.

Prescribe courses for different level of trainees

Development of skills standards according to the market requirements.

2.5 Restructuring of Technical Education and Vocational Training System

(TEVT) and its Objectives:

The nexus between development, poverty alleviation and skilled

workforce can hardly be overemphasized. Technical Education & Skill

Development is the backbone of economic growth and panacea for social

development. Countries that are successfully competing in the Global

workplace and achieving socio-economic gains, invest heavily in the Skill

Development Programs.

Pakistan, unfortunately, has fallen behind not only according to the

international level of Technical Education &Vocational Training (TEVT) but

also lags the Regional standards. The situation in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is

much more alarming due to the reason that the existing fragmented and

archaic TEVT Systems is in no way capable to deliver the requisite out comes.

(Directorate General of Technical Education presentation to Chief Minister,

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa 2010)

Page 35: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

20

Realizing the gravity and gigantic magnitude of the challenges in

the TEVT system, and all time high need for skilling the burgeoning youth

population, the Provincial Government of NWFP, ( KPK ) promulgated

TEVTA Ordinance, 2002 attempting to replicate the TEVTA Punjab Model in

the Province. However implementation of TEVTA Ordinance, 2002 remained

in doldrums due to agitation of the teaching community, its inherent flaws and

scepticism in the expected outcomes of the envisaged change.

In 2006, during a briefing by National Vocational & Technical

Education Commission (NAVTEC), the Prime Minister of Pakistan directed

all Provincial Governments for revamping their Technical Education and

Vocational Training Programs on TEVTA Punjab Model. Accordingly, a

taskforce constituted by the Provincial Government under the chairmanship of

Secretary Industries Commerce Labour and Technical Education visited

Punjab to observe on-ground situation, performance of TEVTA Model and

make appropriate recommendations. The taskforce suggested establishment of

TEVT Board instead of TEVT Authority through amendments in NWFP

(KPK) TEVTA Ordinance, 2002.

In 2008 the Chairman NAVTEC during his presentation to the Chief

Minister Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, requested for restructuring of the TEVT

System of the Province and establishment of TEVT Board as per

recommendation of the taskforce. The Chief Minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

issued a directive for the restructuring and revamping of the TEVT System

and establishment of TEVT Board.

In January 2009 the Provincial Cabinet constituted a high level

committee under the Chairmanship for the Minister for Technical Education

& Manpower Training, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa to formulate sustainable/feasible

proposals for remodelling of the TEVT system in the province. (Directorate

General of Technical Education Presentation to Chief Minister Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa, 2010).

Page 36: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

21

The Committee visited Punjab and carried out a detailed study of the

following organizations and their institutional network.

i TEVTA Punjab.

ii Punjab Vocational Training Council.

iii NAVTEC Regional office at Lahore and Headquarter at Islamabad.

iv National Training Bureau, Manpower Division, Islamabad.

Based on the study, the visiting team formulated recommendations

and accordingly made a presentation to the Chief Minister, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

on 18-01-2010, who approved the proposals in principal.(Presentation on

restructuring 2010).

Furthermore before the above detailed work a project was approved

by ECNEC in 2005 for the Restructuring of the Technical Vocational and

Commercial Education in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as per the following cost detail:-

The project was approved in 2005 by ECNEC at a total cost of US $ 15.68

millions with ADB share of 70% i.e. US $11.00 millions and

Government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa share was 30% i.e. US $4.687

millions.

Duration of the project was estimated 6 years and

Commencement date was November 1st 2005.

2.6 Priority areas / Sectoral Strategies

i Expansion of skill training to meet demand of skilled work

force

ii Quality improvement through up dating of Curricula and

improving teacher manuals.

iii Opening of service/production centres to link trainees with the

market.

iv Introduction of broad based apprenticeship scheme.

v Recognition and certification of Ustad – Shahgird system for

employment within and outside country.

vi Activation of employment exchanges to serve job seekers and

employees of private and public sector organizations.

vii Empowerment of women through Technical & Commercial

Education and vocational training system.

2.7 Professional development of Teachers

The technical manpower in an industrial and technological system falls

into three broad categories:

(1) Engineers, designers, Accountant and Manager etc.

(2) Technicians and sub-engineers level personnel & supervisory staff;

(3) Skilled workers and tradesmen required for efficient production.

It is the third category of skilled workers which form the base of the

pyramid of technical manpower. Unfortunately, however, the gruesome fact is

that at this level of skilled workers our training facilities are the least adequate.

Page 39: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

24

Demand for Training Skilled Workers:

Pakistan, as a whole and the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in particular is facing a

formidable challenge of tackling the issues of Economic Development and

poverty alleviation. In the wake of growing population, Earthquake & War

destructions, flood disasters in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, the need for food, security,

provision of employment opportunities and housing are becoming a burden on the

economy and unmanageable challenge for the government.

Employment is more of social issue than an economic one as it touches the

lives of every person whether young or old. Proper employment is necessary for

all. Provision of more employment is not an adequate solution, people should be

properly trained, employment oriented skills development is an important

instrument of poverty reduction. Skill development and Vocational training is

extensively regarded as a route to economic prosperity being the key to scientific

and technological advancement. Skills and Vocational Training also combats

unemployment, conforms sound foundation of social equity, awareness and

tolerance. (Technical Education Bulletin 2010)

In the prevailing era of cut throat competition emerging as an off shoot of

globalization, the human capital is the most vital and perhaps, the strongest

instrument for a nation to survive in the comity of nations with dignity and

honour. In case of Pakistan, the utility and significance of trained human resource

can only be derived by a fool or insane person. Specially, in case of Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa, which is badly stricken not only by the war on terror, but the recent

floods has smashed the entire infrastructure. Therefore, in the prevailing scenario,

we are in dire need of technically trained human resource and technical education

is the only forum which can cater our this urgent demand. Looking from another

perspective, the demand for highly sophisticated trained human resource has

increased to a colossal extent in the wake of globalization, where multinational

companies are making cross border intrusion in search of trained and cheap

outsourcing and franchising business activities.

Page 40: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

25

Technically trained hands are a big source to create self employment

opportunities and earn a respectable livelihood which in turn can muzzle various

social evils like corruption and smuggling etc… So there cannot be a second

thought about the role of Technical Education in uplifting the socio-economic

condition of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The poverty headcount rate increased with the recent inflationary pressure,

insurgency, earthquake destruction and floods disasters in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

The labour-force participation rate is 53%, which is still substantially below the

regional average of 60% in the South and 75% in the East Asia. The literacy level

of the labour-force is very low resulting in low productivity and income levels.

46.2% of the labour-force has less then one year of skill education.

The country is now progressing in the area of heavy industry and small

and medium enterprises. (SME’s) The mechanization of agriculture is expanding.

As such the demand for trained skilled workers is bound to grow faster. The

training activity demand and deserves concerted attention. The money and energy

spent on the training of skilled manpower is the best investment, a country can

make towards its economic development and self-reliance. Without trained

manpower, no industrial progress can be sustained for long.

2.8 Human resources development through Skill and Technical Education

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is a manpower rich province. The Government

of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is working hard to equip its youth with the Skill Training

and Technical Education.

The broad objectives of the Technical Education and Vocational Training

(TEVT) system are:-

i. The youth are encouraged to enter into the world of work.

ii. The quality of labour and the combination of skills may be improved to

help and to create a competitive and vibrant economy.

iii. To prepare the labour force with new skills and to continually up-grade the

skills.

iv. To provide opportunities for self employment and training which will

empower the youth to have their own work place / business, this will help

in gradually reducing un-employment.

2.9 Private public partnership

An advisory board for the Technical Education and Manpower Training has

been constituted. This board has four members from private sector

representing four industrial zones i.e. Peshawar, Nowshera, Hattar and

Gadoon.

At the same-time a Centre/Institute Management Committee headed by

employer is functioning in Vocational Centre and in Polytechnic institute to

link training with market needs.

The private sector is also associated for providing training in the Informal

Sector.

2.10 Socio Economic Background of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa

The total population of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is about 22.9 millions

comprising a large proportion of young adults and children. Pakistan literacy rate

is 45% and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa literacy is 37.26%. The Female literacy rate in

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is 21.14 and male literacy rate is 52.82%. It should be

mentioned that the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa as such came into being in October,

Page 43: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

28

1901 previously it was a part of the province of Punjab.(Directorate General of

Technical Education, Bulletin 2010 )

The Khyber Pakhtunkhwa has some basic disadvantages, it is

economically remote from the centres of activity, and it has the lowest per capital

income, highest pressure of population on cultivated land, low literacy rate, and

un-attracted tribal areas. The economy of the Province is characterized by high

population growth, predominance of agriculture, dependence on few primary

products, unequal distribution of wealth and limited industrial / agricultural base.

Neither is the Province amongst the technically and economically well off.

However, it is second to none in its manpower resources. In any part of the

country, people of the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa can be seen engaged in a variety of

occupations, particularly in which the jobs are physically demanding. The

government is committed to provide skills training to the Schools dropouts and to

these who could opt for skill training after passing Secondary School

Certificate/matriculation.

2.11 National plan of action for women empowerment of women in Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa

In Khyber Pakhtunkhwa the women constitutes 48.78% of the total

population. Women generally in Pakistan and particularly in Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa are most neglected Human Resources. The literacy rate in Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa among women is 21.14 %. Low literacy levels and restriction on

economic activity have been a major contributory factor to high population

growth and a high dependency ratio. Hence effective steps are required to be

undertaken to bring women in the mainstream of the economic activities of the

Province and to utilize their potentials for economic boost of Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa.

Page 44: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

29

It is important at the same time to emphasize that we believe women make

vital contribution in both the rural and urban economy. Unfortunately, official

labour force statistics undoubtedly underestimate women’s economic activity

participation rates despite the fact that women especially in rural areas do the

most strenuous work. Also prospects for upward mobility into skill intensive and

more remunerative occupations are severely limited. The main thrust of any

proposed strategy to break this “vicious cycle” should be to develop income

earning capacity, health and welfare of children interacting with lower population

growth.

The Directorate General of Technical Education and Manpower Training

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa is working in the following areas for strengthening the

process of female’s integration into the mainstream of socio-economic

development:-

i. Education and Training of Women.

ii. The Girls Child.

(Directorate General of Technical Education, Women project, 2004-09)

A Education and Training of Women.

Education for women is considered a pre-requisite not only for making

women more employable but, more importantly, for strengthening the process of

their integration into the mainstream of socio-economic development. More

primary education for women would also result in a base for more trained

teachers and female paramedical staff. The absorption of women in education and

health sector would give a clear signal to society regarding women’s status in the

labour market.

Women require Vocational Training in a variety of fields to become

more employable and to be able to develop their own businesses. Strengthened

agricultural extension programs for women would enhance their income-

Page 45: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

30

generation potential for their family farms. The vocational guidance counsellors

should promote, and inform women about available training programs both in the

formal and informal sectors. Such training programs should be organized by the

Departments of Technical Education in close collaboration with the Agricultural

Departments; the required support should be made available to them through the

Ministry of Women’s Development. (DGTE, Women project 2009)

At present the following Educational and Training Institutions are

exclusively for women which have been established in the settled areas of Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa.

B THE GIRLS CHILD:

There are about 3.3. Million children working as a Child Labour in

Pakistan out of these 2.4 million are boys and 0.9 million are girls. In Khyber

Pakhtunkhwa the child labour is 1.I. Million as per statistics of 1986. In the above

child labour statistics, the data of FATA and PATA are not included. (Directorate

General of Technical Education, women project 2008).

The Constitution of Pakistan prohibits child labour in any form and

manifestation. The Government of Pakistan is committed to eliminate child

labour, for this purpose laws have been framed. The international agencies are

also supporting Pakistan in its endeavour to gradually eliminate child labour. The

International Labour Organization with the financial assistance of Swiss

Development Corporation has initiated an “International Program on the

Elimination of Child Labour”. Under this project during Phase-I, 400 child labour

(including 290 girls) were given training in the employable skills.

In the on-going phase, training target is as follows:

S.No. Particulars Remarks 1 Pre vocational training in various trades 900 working children’s 2 Vocational training (for children attained pre

vocational training) 300 children’s

3 Vocational training to the parents of working children

2.12 Establishment of TEVTA

Keeping in view the achievements of TEVTA Punjab in the field of

Technical Education and Vocational Training, the provincial caretaker

Government of NWFP (now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa) constituted a Task Force vide

notification No.SOIII(IND:)TE/ NWFP 4-54/2002/2620 dated 4th May 2002 with

the following TORs:-

1 Future structure of Technical Education / Vocational / Commercial

III 2002).

The Task Force during its meeting held on 3rd June 2002 decided that it

was the right time to involve Entrepreneurs in training programs, because they are

the end—users of the system and recommended constitutions of the

Centre/Institute management Committees at institute level and TEVTA at

Provincial level on the pattern of Punjab Government. The Task Force drafted an

Ordinance and finalized in its next meeting held on 13th June 2002. Then the

caretaker cabinet was briefed on restructuring of the Technical Education and

Vocational Training in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa during its meeting held on 2lst Aug

2002 and the following decisions were taken:-

1. Cabinet Approved the Promulgation of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Technical

Education Vocational Training Agency Ordinance, 2002.

Page 48: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

33

2. Cabinet also approved Rs. 15.00 Millions as seed money for Khyber

CHAPTER # 3

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

The importance of education, especially technical and vocational education

has been constantly growing and knowledge based industries are now occupying the

centre stage in education of each country. Though the technical and vocational education

in Pakistan is not new but its fast growth is noticed in the recent years i.e. over past 10

years there has been a significant growth in the number of new technologies, trade and

institutes Further technical and vocational education have received strength with special

funds and contribution from JICA, World Bank, Asian Development Bank and ILO etc,

and now the government has realized to enhance productivity of informal sectors through

creation of self employment opportunities i.e. by providing facilities like establishment of

Polytechnic and Technical Training Institutes.

Generally vocational and technical education are used enter changeably.

Vocational education was having focus on specific trades and was associated with lower

social classes. But in late 20th century diversification has been noticed and shifted to retail

tourism, information technology, funeral service, beauty parlour and traditional craft and

cottage industries. On the other hand,

Technical education is a medium through which student’s get academic and

vocational training. Thus, it enables them to apply for jobs related to science and modern

technologies. It emphasizes on practical learning of basic principles in Mathematics,

Science and technology rather than, theoretical concept which are a part of vocational

training.

The aim of technical education is to train and develop students in various

disciplines of science and technology and thus provide them a platform to get jobs in

these various fields. The level at which the technical education provides training is above

the skilled crafts and below engineering and scientific level. People who acquire this

training are better known as Technicians.

Page 52: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

37

Technical education programs directly give a chance to students to earn.

Besides this it brings indirect benefits to the students like increase in the student’s

engagement, Persistence, retention and helping them to proceed towards higher

education.

Technical education programs involve students in problem solving activities

and provide them with a chance to get hands-on experience in various activities so as to

motivate them and make them understand in a better way. Students, through these

programs, get a chance to directly interact with the experts or trainers so as to discuss

their problems.

Technical Education comes under the branch of Vocational Education.

Technical education covers a wide area of vocational education that includes fields of

trade, commerce, medicine, agriculture and engineering.

In today’s world there is no existence without various types of technologies

that we use in our day to day life. Technologies have had a huge impact not only on our

personal life but also on areas like medicine, research, defence etc…. With the increase

number and application of technologies, the number of people required to deal with them

has also increased. Thus, Technical Education helps to produce these technicians.

It is easier to use technologies but it’s not easy to develop them. That’s the reason

why there are so many technical training programs that help students to understand these

technologies in a way that they can learn how to develop and implement them once they

complete their education.

Technical education makes a country rich, prosperous and resourceful. Every year

the number of technical experts that come out of these training institutes is increasing and

they provide ways to develop more technologies and ways to implement them.

Hussain A.M. (2002) while describing the causes for declining in economic

growth has pointed out that the slow down in economic growth is because adverse law

and order, a worsening macro economic environment, serious lapses in the

Page 53: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

38

implementation of stabilization policies, structural reforms and poor governance etc. As a

solution he has argued on the immediate attention to increase productivity of existing

manufacturing industrial and agricultural sectors, and to low down the wastage and

improve the in efficiencies in all industries which is only possible through vocational

training, technical education, management and foreign consultancy. The researcher has

further suggested setting up vocational and technical institutions at places where

industrial cluster exists and these institutes should be comparable with international

standards. Thus vocational training will continuously provide trained manpower to

industry and agriculture and technical education will improve know how.

Bea and Song (2006) in their debate on youth unemployment and the role of

career and technical education has pointed out that youth unemployment is becoming

increasingly trouble some issue in many part of the world and a good example is Korea

which has experienced high rate of unemployment among young people over the past

decades .

In their suggestion on policy and action they clearly stated, the job market related

policies are inevitably dependent on, and thus may be vulnerable to the economic

conditions and private corporation investment. The public sector employment is also

problematic, when taking into account increased financial burden on tax payers and

efficiency of public businesses. In solution their recommendations are mainly focused on

self employment through technical and vocational trainings and education.

Bea and Song has further pointed out the role of vocational high schools in

providing the advanced general education as well as vocational trainings on in agriculture

technology, commerce, industry and related disciplines which in turn create employment

opportunities and serve as a major source of skilled manpower of rapidly industrialized

country like Korea.

Similarly Lea (2004) emphasized on the special efforts of vocational trainings and

found it highly productive for job placement.

Stone and Aliaga (2005) have examined the direct efforts of a set of social factors

on participation in career and technical education (CTE) and social to work activities

(STW) as how they influence education, job shadowing, mentoring and other specific

activities and found that participation in CTE prepare the students for world of work and

ensured educational and economic attainment. The major research questions in this study

were:

i. What are the participation rates in the career and technical education concentration in schools? How do they compare to participation in the general, academic and dual tracks? What are the participation rates in career major, cooperative education, job shadowing, mentoring, school-based enterprise, and internship/apprenticeship?

ii. What family background, community and school achievement characteristics define

participants in the different CTE-related curricula offered in American high schools? How do they compare to participation in the general, academic and dual tracks?

iii. What is the relationship between curriculum participation, family background, school

achievement and community characteristics and measures of academic rigor (math and science course taking), achievement (GPA and high school completion) and post high school four-year college aspirations for youth who completed high school at the end of the 20th century?

Besides above research questions Stone and Aliaga have also studied the race as

defining characteristics of STW participation and found that blacks were significantly

more likely to participate in job shadowing as compared to white and female were

significantly more as compared to male in job participation in technical education.

Taking into consideration the choice of subject in the study it observed that

the STW are more anxious in math and science because vocational education is a tracking

system and is non college bound. The ratio of choice for vocational education was more

in rural as compared to urban. Further a substantial portion of youth approximately 25%

participated in cooperative vocational education and experience ship internships after

decades.

During the workshop of the skill development council Peshawar on the

problems faced by industries in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Pakistan, the following problems

were identified which impending the Industrial growth in the region.

Geographical disadvantage, both away from sea port and head offices of financial

institution. Non-availability of skilled people Lack of entrepreneurial skills Lack of infrastructure Dearth of local capital Inconsistent policies of the Government Afghan Transit Trade (Smuggling) Lack of improved relationship between employee and employer

In this debate it was also pointed out that Technical Education and Vocational

Training is one of the important tools in smooth running of industries and reduction of

poverty. But unfortunately it has not been given due importance, so this is the time to

focus on the Vocational Training and Technical Education which could meet the

requirement of semi skilled and skilled workers of the country. (SDC , 2007).

Barabasch and lakes (2005) in their study on school-to-work Transition in East

Germany has argued that the status passage of youth from school-to-work has change

structurally under the modernism, and young people are forced to adopt to changing

demands of their environment especially when planning for entry to labour market they

have also quoted Evans etal (1999), the traditional dual educational system, which

offered a relatively tight link between initial vocational training, first jobs, and

subsequent employment, is eroding and young people face tough challenges in a very

difficult labour market.

The German vocational and Technical Training System which facilitates the

school-to-work transition for many young people is organized in a dual way and leads to

over 350 state regulated and organized occupations. Approximately 80% of young people

who learn an occupation go through this system of part time work in a company and part

time schooling in a vocational school. Crouch etal (1999) quoted by Barabasch and Laces

(2005) describe career choice as very risky business. Young people are to be able to

Page 56: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

41

“Predict accurately the state of the labour market opportunities in a future time period.

The period after they have completed their educational preparation”,. Because the risk of

making a wrong decision can cost a lot of time and energy as well as money.

Blissfield and stockman (1999) on the contribution of vocational schools

stated that dual system has the advantages of integration of real work experiences with

theoretical instruction and this system provide well trained labour force and for the

reason Germany has low un employment as compared to other European Countries.

On the other hand Heinz (2000) argued that vocational education and training

system is also in decline because it does not prepare every body appropriately for market

conditions. The central point in his arguments is that training is too job specific and the

range of skill and knowledge one can gain is dependent on the size of the firm. Cook and

Furesten berg (2002) and Miller Idris (2002) have also supported this view point and

outlined that a good number of apprentices for fields are still un-employed and that’s too

particularly in information technology sector. Reseans pointed by Cook and Furstberg

are, Americans are considered to be risk takers and the tend to more short term planners

because there are only few restrictions through Institutions which may have influence on

their planning while Germans are risk avoiders because of the regulated life course that is

planned through various institutions including schools, employment exchange and

chamber of Industry and Commerce.

Yamamoto Gonca T.(2006) in his study i.e. University evaluation selection: a

Turkish case having a sample of 153 respondents face to face interviews found that

University increasingly employ marketing communication tools in addition to

conventional ones for promotion and success. Listed from the classical to technological,

they include student affairs, public relation, promotion, advertisement, fairs, sponsorships

and websites etc. Result of the study indicated more students are affected from the web

page than from any other source.

UGC (India) (1996-97) has quoted the objectives, key issues and focus of the

tenth plan i.e. raise the enrolment in higher education of the 18-23 year age group from

Page 57: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

42

the 6% to 10% by the end of plan period. The strategies chalked out were having focus on

increase in access, quality, adoption of state-specific strategies and liberalization of the

higher education system. Emphases also were laid down on the relevance of curriculum,

VOCATIONALISATION, and networking of the use of INFORMATION

TECHNOLOGY. The plan was further having focus on distance education convergence

of formal, non formal, distance and IT education Institutions, increase private

participation in the management of colleges and deemed to be Universities; research in

frontier areas of knowledge and meeting challenges in the area of Internationalization of

Indian education.

In India the Technical and Management Education Sector has made immense

contribution to the country’s economic and Industrial Development. It has produced

quality skilled, technical and managerial manpower for further growth there has been an

emphasis on establishment of India Institutes of Technologies,(IITS), Regional

Engineering Colleges (RECs), Indian Institute of Sciences (IISC), Indian Institutes of

Management and Information Technology (IITM), School of Planning and Architecture

(SPA), Indian School of Miniature (ISM), National Institute of Foundry and Forge

Technology (NIFFT), National Institute of Training and Industrial Engineering (NITIE),

Technical Teacher’s Training and Institutes (TTTIs), North Eastern Regional Institute of

Science and Technology (NERIST), and Sant Longowal Institute of Engineering and

Technology (SLIET). Additionally the Indian Government encouraged Polytechnic and

Engineering Colleges in Private Sector with close monitoring and evaluation system.

The report further stated the phenomenal increase in number of engineering

colleges, and Polytechnic Institutes since 1947, where the total number was 46 and 53

respectively with 6240 students while in the report of 2001-2002 the number of the

Institutes is 4791 with an enrolment of 6.7 million students.

According to USAID mission Datasheet proposals for the year 2007, to improve

the quality of workforce through Vocational and Technical Education USAID is

increasing assistance to Pakistan’s Industry through new activities to develop more

skilled workforce. USAID technical assistance, in collaboration with the government and

Page 58: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

43

academic, is also helping Industry to identify potential opportunities and implementation

mechanisms for workforce training and job placement.

In the debate, how does technology affect us Carnegie Mellon University

reported, “that recruitment of its software engineering students is up by 25%. All

engineering jobs are paying well, proving that the trend from unskilled to highly

technical, skilled labour is good one! But political action must be taken to ensure that this

societal evolution is beneficial to all of us”. The debate has been concluded on the key

note that the advancement of Technology is a good trend; however, it must be in

conjunction with advance education so the society must be able to master and understand

technology.

In the overview of Pakistan’s education system at the beginning of 21st century it

has documented that progress and prosperity of a country, largely depends on the choice

of education made available to its people indeed, education is one of the most powerful

instruments of change. Its importance for achieving national goals through producing

young minds imbued with knowledge, skills and competencies to shape the future destiny

of a nation has been fully recognized by the Government of Pakistan. (Policy and

Planning wing M.O.E 2005 UNESCO 2003).

In the above mentioned report it has also been realized that in the ninth and tenth

grades there is an option for science and arts group. And if the third group is also fully

functionalized, credits can be made available to pass out students for initiating their own

skill venture as per market demand. Such provision will help in poverty alleviation and

sustainable growth, and for the introduction of technical stream at secondary level, the

federal government has provided financial assistance as specified in the table to the

Provincial/Ares. Position of 2003-2004 is as under:-

Keeping in view UNESCO (2003) Findings,

(i) The government has planning for promoting repaid e-government and governance to improve data collection education management and information systems at the micro levels.

(ii) Encouraging Optimum Professional pedagogic development.

(iii) Expanding IT literacy in sub sectors of education and IT based classroom

Teaching practices and

(iv) Undertake the above through partnership across government, Private Sector and civil society for efficient, inclusive and maximum spread of Information Technology (IT) initiatives.

By realizing the contribution of Technical and Vocational Education towards the

economics, social and cultural development of a country the workers welfare fund

(WWF) has also decided to offer scholarships for professional education and has placed

students i.e. employee children in Vocational, Technical and management Sciences

Institutions. The worker welfare Board through this plan is for sure that the fruit of such

sponsorship will definitely bring peace, prosperity and generate income and employment

for ensuring social inclusion.

The concept paper of SAARC Human Resource Development (SHRDC) on

Training course on Vocational and Technical Education and Training, A means of HRD

(2003) presented the VTET is viewed as the solution to the educational problems in the

economies of the South-Asia because vocational education will promote equity with a

rural base and serve the needs of relatively poor people.

On the other hand the concept paper also indicates that vocational and technical

education is not necessarily favoured by all. There are many who argue that

Page 60: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

45

Vocationalization can not be a remedy for educated unemployment it can not prepare

students for specific occupations and reduce mismatches between education and labour

market.

Though the women are in-dispensable development partner and need to be equipped

with skills. But it is worth to mention that in South Asia the base of Vocational

Secondary Schools is very thin and again when gender are studied, the opportunity for

women is for below than the required level.

Lakes Richard D.C (2005), In his article “Social Welfare and Vocational Education in

Progressive Era Cincinnati highlighted the contribution of two social welfare reformers,

Edith Campbell and Helen Woolly in the emergence of local vocational education policy

regarding child labourers, specifically working class girls. These two social welfare

reformers brought a distinctly feminist philosophy to their understanding of the problems

of disadvantaged youths and sought protective labour legislation for female factory

workers especially. In their special focus on Industrial training for bills they said, “We

have made little advance in the vocational training for women. We will have to have a

change of attitude toward a girl”. She landed in her address before National Education

Association Department of Superintendents meeting in Cincinnati, You have to decide

whether the women’s place in a home or in the home”. And she emphasized on the

female Vocational, Industrial and Technical Training of girls for female social, political,

and economic independence.

In the follow-up of all such efforts, the establishment of vocational and technical

training made progress and the annual issue of work certificates obtained by girls were

increased significantly. The girl’s students started singing up for Sewing Trade Schools,

Embroidery and Dress Making, Shoe, Paper, Candy and Cigar Making Factories, the girls

also started learning salesmanship, hospitality and other vocational practices too.

Yin wong w. (1991) in his study, effects of Vocational and Technical Education on

Earning with reference to family background in Hong Kong studied the following

problems.

Page 61: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

46

i. Is there any difference in family background between graduates of general education and those of vocational and technical education?

ii. Is there any effect of vocational and Technical Education on earnings in

general?

iii. Does vocational and technical education facilitate social mobility, especially in helping the poor to break through the constraints of their family background?

From the analysis of the graduates no significant differences were found because

families background, but the vocational and technical education had a greater impact on

earnings compared with general education and in the private sector technician’s courses

had a positive impact. In the government jobs no significant difference had been noticed.

Analysis on the graduate further showed that within the same education level, type of

education was not an intervening variable in transmitting or counterbalancing the

influence of family background on the earnings of second generation indeed, family

background influenced earnings directly.

CHAPTER # 4

METHODOLOGY

The purpose of this study was to determine the contribution of Vocational

and Technical education, towards social and economic development of N.W.F.P. now

Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. To achieve the objective of the study opinion of the eminent

educationists and specialists in the field of economics and finance were consulted for

formulation of statements of the problems.

4.1 Data Collection.

The sample of the study was consists of senior faculty along with Head of

Departments and students pursuing their studies in government commerce colleges,

Technical colleges, Polytechnic and Vocational institutes. For this purpose two separate

questionnaires were served to the potential respondents during 2008/09 to Faculty

members and Students. These questionnaires were sent through surface mail and also

personal distribution among the faculty and students of local institutions. The responses

received were used for statistical analysis.

4.2 Pre test / Contents of Validity of the Questionnaire.

To check the validity of contents of the questionnaires pre testing was made in

the two institutes i.e. Government Post Graduate College of Commerce and Management

Sciences Peshawar and Government College of Technology Peshawar. After receiving

the responses few questions were re-coasted.

Page 63: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

48

4.3 Population of the Study.

The universe of the study was all faculty members along with Head of

Departments and students pursuing their studies in Commerce and management sciences

colleges, Technical colleges, Polytechnic and Vocational Institutes. The sample

population was randomly selected on convenience basis in the students while all the

faculty members, 10 to 15 faculty members (who were available during the period of

conducting research) were considered as selected sample. Total 1200 questionnaires

were served to the faculty and 1250 to the students, out of which 454 and 192 from the

faculty and students were received back respectively.

The responses of faculty i.e. 454 all were analyzed while in the students 15 were

rejected on the basis of incompleteness.

4.4 Statistical Analysis.

For the purpose of statistical analysis descriptive statistics were used. The

questionnaire was coded and the coded values were analyzed through SPSS version 16,

which was used for data entry and analysis purpose of Cross- tabs, Chi Squares and

Kolmogorov test as SPSS is more friendly and easy to operate. These statistics were in

the following series:-

Cross-tabs. Cross-tabs were developed for processing of summary i.e. valid,

missing and total of each parameter of the study, to know the relationship of various

variables. Cross tabulations are very easy to understand. They appeal to people that do no

understand the more sophisticated measures. It can be used with any level of data .

Cross-tab facilitates the researcher. (www.http:cross-tabs-wikipedia)

Chi Squares. Chi-Squares test were applied to know the significance value of

each variable. At the time the researcher is interested in determining whether the number

of observation or responses that fall into various categories differ from chance. If the data

are nominally scaled, a chi square test is applied. When test are undertaken to examine

whether the sample data support the hypothetical distribution, such problems are called

test of goodness of fit. ( G C Beri 2008 ).

Page 64: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

49

Kolmogorov Smirnov One – Sample Test . For further investigation of the

study Kolmogorov Smirnov One –Sample Test was used. This test is concerned with the

degree of agreement between a set of observed values and the values specified by the null

hypothesis. It is similar to the chi square test of goodness of fit. It is used when the

researcher is interested in comparing a set of values on an ordinal scale. ( G C Beri 2008 )

Design of the questionnaire. The questionnaire used for faculty was having

three parts A, B and C consisting of 27 questions. Part A was consist of information

about the selection of profession, satisfaction from profession, environment,

administration, salaries, incentives and career development. Part B consist of 11

questions on the five points likert scale from strongly agree to strongly disagree. These

questions cover the following information’s:-

Contribution of technical education towards GDP.

Contribution of technical education towards employment.

Contribution of technical education towards Small and Medium Enterprises.

Contribution of technical education towards Research and

Development.

Contribution of technical education towards social and business needs.

Part B of the questionnaire also having open ended questions i.e. statements /

views of the respondents were recorded and after having their responses mathematical

values were assigned to the responses for comparison. With the help of Part C of the

questionnaire information about the contribution of technical education towards other

fields of life like cafeteria, transport, booksellers, hostel accommodations, stationary,

furniture and fixture, chemical, glass work, equipments, barber shops, dry cleaners

tailoring etc., have been collected.

The questionnaire for students was having 17 questions covering personal

information, information about career, choices for field of specialization and basis for

specialization option along with their satisfaction and dissatisfaction from the choices.(

Details are at Annexure C & D )

CHAPTER # 5

This chapter indicates the findings of the study and statistical analysis of the data.

This section contains two parts i.e. part A and B. part A represent the findings related to faculty while the findings related to students are under discussion in part B. at the end of the chapter.

The data obtained through questionnaire was analyzed through statistical

package SPSS Version. 16

The total questionnaire served were 1200 to faculty and 1250 to the students of

technical & vocational and commerce and Management Sciences colleges/Institutes. The

respondents who returned the questionnaire from the faculty and administration positions

were 454 and from the students 192 respectively.

The Statistical Analysis was carried out with the following

objectives/parameters:-

The contribution of Inter/Degree/ and Post Graduate Colleges/Institutes were

analyzed to see the overall satisfaction level of the faculty which they derived from their

assignments/duties.

All the respondents responded to all questions and no missing/blank

questionnaire was returned, 368 respondents showed satisfaction from the job as they

have selected this profession by choice, 10 remain undecided while 20 showed

dissatisfaction from the job overall facets.

Out of those who opted for this profession by chance, 27 showed satisfaction, 15

remain undecided while 14 showed dissatisfaction.

The table # 1 shows the frequencies and chi square results which are highly significant i.e. P > 0.000

When the satisfaction level was analyzed individually i.e. at Inter/Degree/Postgraduate level significant differences were found.

The table#2 shows of the collected data. The total respondents from inter colleges were 141 degree level 199 and post graduate level 114. The satisfaction from job count is 123,171 and 101 from college, degree and postgraduate level faculty respectively. The undecided remained 3, 14 and 8 while dissatisfaction has been showed by 15, 14 and 5 respondents respectively. When to the same data chi square was applied no significance has been shown by the results.

As the satisfaction is a combination of various facets of the job like nature of the job, policy and administration, interpersonal relationship, salary and remuneration, other incentives (fringe benefits) and career development as well as professional development . When all these facets were taken into consideration the results shows that the faculty along with those who are having responsibility of academic administration are highly satisfied from the nature of job i.e. were itself , policy and administration , interpersonal relationship , salary and remuneration and other incentives as well as career and professional development. The findings are indicated at table # 3,4,5,6,7 and 8.to the same data when chi square was applied high significant level was found i.e. P<0.000.

The economic and social contributions of Technical, Vocational and Commercial

education have been tested with the following elements. Provision of employment to skilled and unskilled labour/workforce, other

business opportunities like cafeteria/catering services, book seller, stationery and photocopying services, vendors like fast food, furniture and fixture , chemical and glassware , suppliers of office and lab equipments , provision for hostel accommodation , dry cleaning , tailoring , barber shop , and other miscellaneous services.

Table # 9 shows institutional wise contribution towards employment with respect

to cafeteria and allied services. The Government Technology Colleges as well as commerce colleges are providing less opportunities as compare to polytechnic and vocational institutes, the chi square results are also significant.

Table # 12 indicates the contribution of the above mentioned institutes

towards job opportunities of business like stationery and photocopying services, and the chi square results are highly significant i.e. 0.000. These institutes are providing business opportunities to investors and job opportunities to the semi skilled labour of the area. Such type of employment opportunities lesser the burden on the government for provision of job to such class of labour. Additionally all the business opportunities further create openings for whole-sellers, printers, publishers and others.

In this area the Technology Colleges also shows reasonable contribution.

towards other vender like fast foods etc, which shows in-significant results. The result indicates that these facilities are availed from outside vendors, upon which there is no direct control of these institutes. Similarly results related to provision of furniture and fixture, chemical and glassware lab and office equipments as well as hostel accommodation are also in-significant, in addition to the above laundry and dry-cleaning services, barbers shop and tailoring are also in-significant, which are shown in Table # 15, a, b, c, d, e, f.

The respondents were asked to comment on low economic growth in Pakistan

which can be linked with the most important aspect i.e. linkages of the technical education with industry. The respondent’s shows that there is no linkage of technical education with industry and both are having solo flights in their respective domain.

Table # 17 shows that 417 respondents says no to the linkages while 37 says yes

to the linkages. The data obtained has been analyzed with one sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test showing the mean 1.7850, standard deviation 0.48295 and significance level @ 0.000

The application of one sample Kolmogorow-Smirnov test is supported by G.C.Beri in his research on the following basis i.e. the test is concern with the degree of agreement between the set of observed values and the value specified by the null hypothesis. It is similar to the chi square test of goodness of fit. It is used when the researcher is interested in comparing a set of values on an ordinal scale.

In response to the questionnaires, technical education is the prerequisite for

research and development. Strong agreements were found by the faculty and academic administration towards the support of the questionnaire. At the same time when the mean, standard deviation and Significance level was analyzed it was found that the mean is 2.9868 and standard deviation is 1.00322, while the significance level is observed 0.000

Though the syllabus and structure is determined by Directorate General of

Technical Education at the central level yet there is dissatisfaction with present education system and structure and the respondents have shown positive attitude towards the change of syllabus and structure. The Degree colleges/institutes shows 72.9% willingness followed by the Inter level institutes @ 61% and post graduate at the level of 59.6%. The cumulative status is as 65.9% while the significance level is .977 i.e. showing insignificance overall.

STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

PART B

Findings of the study related to students/enrolled in Technical, Vocational and Commerce Colleges. To know the contribution of Technical, Vocational, Polytechnic and Commerce colleges/institutes towards the economic and social development a questionnaire having multiple choices was served to students in Technical, Vocational and Polytechnic institutes as well as in Commerce and Management Sciences Colleges. The questionnaire was having focus in information about career planning being the most appropriate and current issue of the country’s youth, (young generation) information and update about the technical education, the role of family, friends and media regarding promotion and awareness creation of technical and vocational education. Additionally the questionnaire was having links to the selection of specialization field and satisfaction with the specialization opted for, was also included in the questionnaire. A portion of the questionnaire was having focus on the role of teachers, availability of physical environment in these institutions and the future prospects were also covered. Out of the served questionnaires to the students of different colleges/institutes 192 were received back. The low response is directly linked to the student’s examination as well as having no aptitude towards such type of research/responses. The data collected was analyzed through SPSS Version 16 to develop frequencies, cross tabs, and chi squares. Out of the 192 questionnaires 15 were discarded having inadequate information. Therefore the valid percentage is 92.20.

The result shows that, at HSC level the students were having choices for science

subjects but at the inter level the choice towards other, i.e. technical, vocational and commercial education was developed among the students i.e. 69.20 % selects the field by choice and 24.4% of the students selected this stream of education by advice. The choices and advices investigated through personal interviews were identified as having no chance for admission in FSc at reputed colleges. When the data was statistically analyzed through chi square it was found insignificant.

Table # 1(a, b) shows the result of the above findings:-

At the 4th year level usually the commerce and management students opt for

specialization. The option for specialization is directly linked with the choices, advice of family, department reputation and advices by others.

Table # 4 indicates that 65.3% are having selection specialization by choice,

8.5% by family, 8% because of department reputation and 13% because of others, which clearly indicates that due to enhancement of the knowledge of the students they can openly select their specialization at their own.

To know the role of commerce and management sciences colleges towards

employment opportunities, research and development and growth in the field, the results shows that the student choices for specialization of technologies and discipline are based 54.3% because of employment opportunities, 37.9% is because of research and development and 7.8% is because of growth in the these disciplines. Here the student’s trend is purely for employment search or to be associated with research and development. Table # 7 shows the result of these trends:-

FINDINGS OF THE STUDY

When the collected data was analysed and results were checked the

following findings have been concluded by the researcher from the study in hand.

The findings consist of Part A, which relates to the faculty and

Part B is related to the students.

Research Question # 1. How the contributions of Technical, Vocational and

Commercial Education are considered by all stakeholders?

The contribution of Technical and Vocational education is positively

considered by all stake holders i.e. by the faculty, academic administrators as well

as by the students.

The satisfaction which the faculty derived from their job is highly

significant and they have selected this profession by choice both working at inter,

degree and post graduate level colleges/institutes. The faculty performing their

duties/jobs at the Degree level colleges are highly satisfied followed by Inter and

Post Graduate colleges respectively. When the post graduate level faculty were

further analyzed for suggestion in the changes of technical education system, they

showed the same behaviour. The lower level satisfaction among the group as well

as consideration of changes in the present Technical, Vocational and Commercial

Education system can be linked with the policy and administration of the

institutes. At the Inter and Degree level the faculty and academic administration

are less exposed to the society and authorities as compare to the Post Graduate

level. Because post graduate level education is a terminal degree and absorption

of the students in the society is having direct reflect on the faculty.

The results further shows that the faculty and academic administration is

satisfied from the policy and administration, interpersonal relationship, salary and

remuneration and career development. While the same sample showed

dissatisfaction from the incentives which they receive.

Page 118: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

103

The study support Lea (2004) that the Vocational Training Institutes are

highly productive for job placement.

The study is in line with Crouch Etal (1999) who describes career choice

as a risky business and young peoples are able to predict accurately the state of

the labour marked opportunities in the future time period. The faculty

(academician) have rightly selected the future with Technical, Vocational and

Commercial Education as today there is much more expansion in the technical,

vocational and commercial education. The new specializations and openings have

been observed frequently and there are opportunities for the career and

professional development. The study further support the technical, vocational and

commercial education vision i.e. presentation to the secretary industries in 2008

having focus on the growth of technical education, to increase knowledge, to

impart skills, to explore potential of the disadvantaged population, institutional

development, improvement in the quality of education and relevance, access and

equity enhancement, to organize, to regulate, and to supervise technical,

vocational and commercial education.

Research Question # 2. How do the faculty link their career with Technical,

Vocational and Commercial Education?

The faculty has highly satisfied with the career development from the

employment in the Technical Education department.

The study is in contradiction with Stone and Aliaga (2005) who have

examined the direct efforts of a set of social factors on participation on career and

technical education along with social activities, job shadowing, mentoring and

other specific activities. As the results of their study have not supported

Page 119: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

104

vocational education as the first choice because it is a tracking system and is non

college bound.

The study support the findings of Yin Wong W. (1991) who found no

affect of the family background and gender in the career in technical and

vocational education. The study in hand has found no significant difference

because of the geographical location of the institutes.

Research Question # 3. How do the students receive and perceive the Technical,

Vocational and Commercial Education as a career?

The sample studied in the study showed that the students have opted for

technical, vocational and commercial education as a future career and are satisfied

with their own choice, family suggestions and advices of teachers. They were also

found fully satisfied with their specialization they opted for. The sample also

showed that they are satisfied with increase in their knowledge and opportunities

available for employment (government/self) and Research & Development.

The results of the study are in support of Bea and Song (2006) who have

pointed out the positive role of vocational high schools, vocational trainings on

agriculture technology, commerce, industry and related disciplines which in turn

create employment opportunities and serve as a major source of skilled

manpower. The study also supports Lea (2004) who emphasized special efforts of

vocational trainings and found it highly productive for job placement.

The study further support the findings of Blissfield and Stockman (1999)

who have found the contribution of vocational schools which work as a dual

system having the advantages of integration of real work experiences with

theoretical instructions. The same study argues that the Germans low

unemployment as compare to other European countries is because of vocational

schools.

Page 120: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

105

Result of the study clearly shows that the students are very much clear

about the importance of technical, vocational and commercial education and they

are also clear about their future career. The main contribution towards selection of

technical and vocational education field are advises from the family members,

students own knowledge and clarity of concepts and other like friends and

teachers.

The faculty has also emotional and professional attachment with the

technical, vocational and commercial education as it provides career opportunities

as well as opportunities for professional development. The study has clearly

identified the contribution of establishment of technical, vocational and

commercial institutes towards the social and economic development of N.W.F.P.

now Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KPK). The government technology colleges,

commerce and management sciences colleges, polytechnic institutes and

government technical & vocational centres contribute towards employment

opportunities to both skilled and unskilled labour force. The commerce and

management sciences colleges and government technical and vocational centres

are absorbing more numbers of labour-force as compare to the technology

colleges and polytechnic institutes. Commerce colleges are more contributing to

the provision of transport facilities as compare to technology colleges,

polytechnic institutes and government technical and vocational centres. The

reason behind low involvement of the transport provision is less numbers in case

of polytechnic institutes and technical colleges and the students of government

technical and vocational centres are attending the institutes on periodical basis

and are not full time students.

All the institutions are contributing towards Allied services like stationary,

fixture and furniture suppliers, glasswork suppliers, and lab and office equipments

in case of polytechnic institutes and commerce colleges. Further these institutes

provides opportunities to private hostels owners for students accommodation and

other vendors like barber shops, tailoring, dry cleaners and stationeries owners at

Page 121: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

106

a reasonable level but not to the maximum. The reason behind low contribution is

as the faculty and students both as they avail open market opportunities/facilities

for these services. The result shows that the students and faculty both agreed to

the fact that technical, vocational and commercial education is a pre requisite for

research and development and also for the economic development of a country.

Majority of the faculty have suggested changes in the present system and structure

of technical, vocational and commercial education and have suggested changes in

the syllabus.

When hypothesis were tested the results of the study are in support of H1

& H2 i.e.

H1 The Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education have great contribution towards economic and social section and justify the public ex-chequer expenses.

H2 The students and faculty are clear in selecting Technical, Vocational and Commercial Education as future career.

Page 122: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

107

CONCLUSION

Analysis of the data shows that Technical, Vocational and Commercial

Education is contributing toward economic and social development of a country.

The students and parents are having clear picture regarding this system of education

and the growth as well as the maximum possible attention/emphasis of the

government towards the improvement in the present technical, vocational and

commercial education have opened the doors for young generation a d faculty for

seeking admission as well as employment in such type of institutes. Due to the

tremendous growth within the limited resources this system has diverted attention of

private investors in establishment of technical and commerce & management

sciences colleges in particular and polytechnic and technical & vocational centres in

general.

Results of the study also clearly indicates that there is a room for further

development and the government has rightly taken steps to further widen the area of

technical, vocational and commercial educational centres on the pattern of other

developed economies.

Page 123: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

108

RECOMMENDATIONS

Based on the findings of the study the following recommendations are forwarded for future policies to be developed by the provincial government of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in particular and other provinces in general.

To enhance the technical know how and opportunities for employment both at

public and private sector the government should pay attention to the establishment

of Technical, Vocational and Commercial institutions at all Tehsil level and major

semi urban towns in the province.

To retain the faculty motivated workshops and seminars be arranged where in the

emphases should be on the trends and techniques of the technically, vocationally

and commercially develop countries like Japan Korea and other European

countries.

Trade and commerce exhibitions be arranged at different level as well as at a

provincial level so the general society may also have the knowledge about the

technical, vocational and commercial education.

The present inter, graduate and post graduate level institutions should develop

linkages among their own as well as with allied industries so the gap between

classes lectures (Tutoring) and practical application should be removed. This will

also help industries to have a prospect i.e. potential employer as per their

requirement. The linkages between the institutions will help in future enrolment,

selection of specialization & technologies and ultimately it may lead to have a

model University i.e. Technology University in the province.

Introduction of technical, vocational and commercial education at high school

level may enlarge the vision of the students for their future career option as in

case of vocational schools in developed countries and especially in brother

Islamic countries Turkey (MESLEK OKLULU).

Page 124: SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION OF TECHNICAL, …

109

Establishment of private institutions be encouraged with a close monitoring i.e. to

have a check and balance system and physical infrastructure which is too much

week at present. The public private partnership could be a good model if put in

practical.

The government alone cannot provide 100% employment opportunities to the

literate component of the society, therefore, introduction of more trades at grass-

root level particularly for female segment of the society may lead to the

development of self entrepreneurship concept.

The developed countries usually provide financial support for establishment of

technical and vocational institutions. If the donor countries provide opportunities

for higher studies, specialized trainings and transfer of technology, the bonds of

theory & practical would get more strengthen.

In the study in hand the sample taken remains limited to public sector, therefore in

the future studies a representative sample from the private sector needs to be

included to have a more clear picture.

To have a fruit of technical, vocational and commercial education on the patterns

of developed countries particularly Korea, as well as like India and Punjab.

(Province of Pakistan). The provincial cabinet in 2009 has constituted a

committee to formulate and submit a feasible proposal for a model TEVT System.

The committee before recommendation needs to study the TEVT board system

with reference to the cultural, social, economic and geographic background of the

province and to frame recommendations which should strengthen the present

system. Because any minor casualty may lead to major destruction and defaming

of TEVT system.
