It is also an aspect of continuing education.

It prepares an individual to select a particular vocation or occupation. It ends the academic and theoretical nature of general education. It also stops the divorce between work and education.

It GIVES practical orientation to ed­ucation which becomes meaningful and brings UTILITY to the education s not merely technician-training. It is more than that. It prepares and acti­vates the individual to understand the social reality and to REALISE his own potential within the frame work of economic development.
