Compare and Contrast Between Technical/Vocational Education and General Education

Technical education and general education are two types of learning sources which serve different purposes. Though both systems of education aim at enlightening an individual for himself/herself as well as the society, there are some similarities and differences between technical/vocational education and general education. First of all, technical education is very much skill-oriented or job oriented. On the other hand, general education is degree oriented. In general education, one earns a higher degree such as BBA, MBA or any other higher degree but does not learn any sufficient skill to do things practically. As a result, someone who has general education may not get any job. He may remain unemployed and so may become a burden to his family. On the other hand, someone who has vocational or technical education does not remain unemployed. If he does not get a job, he can be self-employed because he has the required skill to earn something. Again, general education only builds up some clerks and officers but technical education builds skilled workers and professionals. In addition, technical education creates skilled human resources which are of great demand around the world. But, general education lags behind in enabling an individual to be worthy of field work. On top of that, technical education increases productivity whereas general education finds out the thinking power of a person. However, for a country’s development, technical education is more necessary than general education. But it is true that in Bangladesh people still prefer general education, to technical education. This attitude should be changed; otherwise, the development of our country will be hampered.

শিক্ষাপ্রতিষ্ঠান এ সপ্তাহিক ছুটি কয়দিন হওয়া উচিত?

 শিক্ষাপ্রতিষ্ঠান এ সপ্তাহিক ছুটি দুইদিন নিয়ে যাদের চুলকানি তাদের উদ্দেশ্যে বলছি যে শিক্ষাপ্রতিষ্ঠানএ সপ্তাহিক ছুটি তিন দিন হওয়া উচিত। হ্যাঁ, সত্যিই দেখছেন - ৩ দিন ছুটি প্রয়োজন,  এক দিন পরপর ক্লাশ হওয়া উচিত। দেশের প্রতিটা পাবলিক ইউনিভার্সিটি তে এরকমই ক্লাশ হয়- সপ্তাহে ৩/৪ দিন ক্লাশ হয়। তাতে পাবলিক ইউনিভার্সিটির শিক্ষার্থীরা মূর্খ হয়ে যাচ্ছে না, বরং তারাই দেশকে নেতৃত্ব দিচ্ছে।  ইউরোপ, আমেরিকা বা কানাডা এমনকি মধ্যপ্রাচ্যের - উন্নত দেশগুলোতে একটানা ২/৩ মাস বন্ধ থাকে। তাতে ওদের ছেলেমেয়েগুলা মূর্খ থাকছে না নিশ্চয়ই। আর আমাদের এখানে সারা বছর স্কুল কলেজএ ক্লাশ করিয়ে ভুজুং ভাজুং করিয়ে A+ এর বন্যা বইয়ে দেয়া হচ্ছে যারা মূলত কিছুই শিখে না অধিকাংশ ক্ষেত্রেই। শিক্ষা তথা জ্ঞান অর্জন পেশি শক্তির কাজ নয়, এটা একান্তই মানসিক কাজ। মস্তিষ্ক ও শরীর যত রিল্যাক্স থাকবে, জ্ঞান অর্জনে মন ততই আগ্রহী থাকবে। জ্ঞান অর্জন কে পণ্যদ্রব্য উতপাদনের সাথে মেলালে চলবে না। মানুষের মন কোন মেশিন বা যন্ত্র নয়। মেশিন এ যেমন যত বেশি কর্মঘন্টা বাড়ানো যায়, উতপাদন তত বারে। কিন্তু জ্ঞান অর্জনের ক্ষেত্রে এটা ঠিক উলটো ঘট...

Comparison and Contrast Between Online Class and In-Campus Class

Education is the process that our mind develops through formal learning at school, college, or university. These days we have two ways to achieve education, the very common and first one is campus education and another is online education. There are many differences between online classes and campus classes. An online class is conducted over the internet participating both learners and teachers. Here teachers and students join in a live meeting platform and arrange an online-based class. Without that, an online class can be arranged through a learning management system where teachers share learning materials and students can ask questions about their problems. Then teachers can solve their problems. On the other hand, in case of on-campus classroom experience, the teacher and students attend in a classroom physically. They both meet face to face. When we meet face to face with people and hear their stories and insights in person, it is easier to develop relationships and build communit...
