Through the years, the government had spent millions in strengthening the educational status of the country. Broadening its vision, it began to focus on programs that develop the student’s skills aside from the learnings in the four walls of the classroom. As the need for vocational and technical workmen arise, the government and the Department of Education began the establishment of Technical Vocational curriculum in schools. In present, this program had provided millions with opportunities. But what is could this program bring this country?
As the technical vocational program flourishes, it also develops the students in areas of home economics, industrial arts and agriculture. This program put significant emphasis on providing students with practical experience and technical know-how which are competency based. This goal focuses on providing students a training and environment that is significantly based in real life jobs that would allow them to be developed as globally-competitive workers through on-job-trainings and industrial immersions with NGOs. As a country with high regard to moral values, the technical-vocational curriculum also places importance in the development of student’s wholesome character and strengthening national competitiveness and productivity. Also, one of the primary goals of this curriculum is its preparation of the students who cannot pursue higher education to create job employment and contribute in nation building. Through this, the students can use their skills and create products as a source of income even without diplomas, and as the demand of technical or vocational worker increase abroad, the students will be able to provide themselves better oppurtunities.
The technical vocational program brings the country globally competitive and self-sufficient workers that are vital in the development and nation-building. The rise of the pearl of the orient from its position as a third world country is lying in the hands of its people, and a globally competitive Filipino means a globally competitive country. The technical vocational curriculum and its students is the nations STEPping stones towards progress.
