Technical and vocational education has always been sidelined in Pakistan. There are only a few institutes that offer vocational education, but the quality of education offered in these institutions is unsatisfactory. No institution has upgraded its syllabus and students are forced to learn decade-old techniques.
Inexperienced teaching staff has also caused a great deal of inconvenience to students. The authorities concerned need to take a look into the matter. Teachers training programmes must be conducted to ensure that there are no compromises over the quality of education.
