A COMPREHENSIVE TRAINING POLICY FOR
TECHNICAL TEACHERS

Module 1:Orientation Towards

Technical Education and Curriculum Aspects

RATIONALE

Technical education contributes a major share to the
overall education system and plays a vital role in the
social and economic development of the nation. Hence,
the Technical Education has the need to create skilled

manpower to enhance industrial productivity and to
further improve the quality of life. The bridge from human
resource development to economic growth has to be
built by well trained teachers.

The most important ‘agent of change’ in ‘Knowledge Society’
is the teacher. A teacher requires many educational and didactical
skills to deal with new situations. Teachers must be curriculum

leaders. Ensuring that teachers are central to the reformation of
curriculum will enable the development of pedagogy that provides the most favorable condition of
learningand the highest quality learning outcomes for all students. The new role of teachers demands
a new way of thinking and understanding of the new vision of the learning process.

The Module on “Orientation Towards Technical Education and Curriculum Aspects” delivers necessary
foundations for shaping teacher education and refining the role of teachers and learners in the new,
independent and engaging environment that has been created for them.
