Industrial or technical education is the need of the hour. We cannot live without machines or without the people who work them.
Industrial or technical education means teaching students and others about machines and techniques. They are taught about the parts of different machines and the ways of working and repairing them. They are also taught about the details of an industry or the working of a factory. Those students who get such education become industrial experts or technicians.
A developing country like Pakistan needs more industrial experts and technicians. As time passes, we shall have to expand bur industry. We shall have to set up more modern factories for making heavy and light machines. Those factories will require well-qualified experts. So it is quite wise to start giving proper industrial and technical .education even before we establish these factories and industries.
We have to make great progress in industry. At present, we produce machines like electric fans, cycles, tube-well engines, motor cars, submarines planes and machines for cotton mills. We shall have to set up huge steel mills and different heavy industries for this purpose. If we really do this, our country will be industrialized in the real sense. But we need a great number of industrial and technical experts for this purpose.
We need technicians to use machines in agriculture. At present, we use quite a small number of tractors and other machines on our farms. But we may begin using them in a greater number to increase our agricultural production. Factories producing tractors, etc. in the country will help us in working on our farms with machines. But we shall need workshops and repairing shops to keep these machines in running condition. This means that industrial experts and technicians will look after and repair our tractors and machines.
