Principal's Speech:
In this changing technology-dependent century - state, society, economy, international trade, production, labor market, health sector, all areas of meeting the basic needs of people, are becoming technology-dependent day by day. Innovations and changes in technology, to improve excellence and efficiency; Timely additions to education and training are critical. The National Skill Development Policy has given priority to technical education and training. From the year 2021, the subject of technical education has been placed in the sixth standard of general students. From the year 2022, technical education was introduced as a compulsory subject in class 7 and class 8. The government is working to implement a comprehensive program to improve the quality of technical education and training system in the light of the National Five Year Plan to transform the country's current youth population into manpower. With the aim of rapidly upgrading the country to a middle-income country and achieving the "Sustainable Development Goals" or SDGs set by the United Nations; Quality technical education and training is the best tool at this time. Skilled technology literate generation has the potential to play the biggest role in raising our country to the level of developed world. Demand-based practical and job-oriented modern technical education and training; It will greatly help the country's manpower to position itself in the world's competitive labor market. Private institutions should be encouraged in technical education. More opportunities for practical and hands-on learning should be created for technical students in private institutions. Hands-on education and training opportunities; It will make the students more skilled and suitable for the international labor market. Demand-based technical and vocational education and training; Employment will be guaranteed, more opportunities for self-employment will increase. A workforce through demand-based technical and vocational education and training; Qualified to work all over the world.
It is the need of the hour to upgrade the "Demand Based Technical and Vocational Education and Training" system and promote this sector on priority basis in keeping with the changing technical education and training of the world. Achieving the SDGs or “Sustainable Development Goals” requires building a skilled workforce in Bangladesh by prioritizing and encouraging technical education with realistic needs – which will quickly move the country towards building the Sonar Bangla, the dream of the father of the nation.
Student life is the right place to develop into a good citizen in the future life. Technical education institutes. Development is not possible without quality and quality education. And we want technical education for sustainable development. Where general education is all about theory, technical education is about practical application. The more advanced countries are, the more advanced they are in technical education. Technical education is at the root of the extensive development of various developed countries of the world. More recently, the Philippines, Indonesia, and Vietnam have made progress by emphasizing technical education.
After independence, Vocational Training Institute was established in 1984 to provide basic course of three months and six months duration training in only two subjects with the aim of producing skilled technical citizens. It is the responsibility of this institution to turn the large population of these areas into skilled human resources through technical education. Educated population with certificate dependent market valueless education without skills is burden of the country. On the other hand, in technical education a student gets material opportunities to make full use of his talents and abilities. As a result, as well as the opportunity for easy employment in the country and abroad, he is able to enrich his career in self-employed profession by using his technology skills independently. This reduces unemployment in the country. The students will continue to contribute to turning this country from a middle-income country to a developed country by being educated in higher education, including self-employment, multifaceted jobs in the country and abroad by studying technical subjects. And to advance this contribution, Chauddagram Government Technical School and College will play a supporting role. "To meet the challenges of the 21st century, the solution lies only in technical education."
We are moving forward with the aim of meeting the challenges of globalization and making most of the people of the country educated and skilled manpower through technical education. Since 2022, this institution has been making relentless efforts to build a harmonious nation by producing honest, qualified and enlightened skilled people with great success.
I wish this institution further progress and success.
