ABOUT OUR DEPARTMENT
Vocationalisation of education at the +2 level was introduced in the
country in 1976. It was formally adopted in Kerala at the Higher
Secondary level in the academic year 1983-84. The implementation of
vocationalisation got a new thrust with the centrally sponsored scheme
launched by the Government of India in February 1988. This paved way
for tremendous growth in this sector.
The aims of the scheme were to avoid forcing students into the
academic channel and to enable them to choose subjects in a wide field
of knowledge and skills.This will provide society with competent
personnel for its various needs and progress.
The main objectives of the vocational education are enhancing individual
employability,reducing the mismatch between the demand and supply of
skilled manpower,and providing an alternative to those who pursue
higher education without particular interest or purpose.
