VOCATIONAL TRAINING AT NEW ERA

The purpose of a school is to provide an environment in which children learn to become self-reliant and grow into an individual who channelizes their energies for the well-being of humanity. In reality “ child is potentially the light of the world and at the same time its darkness”. Keeping this fact in mind that the child has latent capacities to emerge as a potent and positive force in today’s world, the New Era School has introduced various educational innovations in its curriculum. Vocational training programme is one such avenue wherein children develop their psycho- motor and social skills. Service to society is one of the motto of the school and the spirit of service is being inculcated in the students at all levels of their education at New Era. This programme has been viewed as a positive and meaningful manual activity. It comprises multifarious activities programmed in accordance with the interests, abilities and skills hidden in young minds.

“Theoretical study must be extended to both the practical application of theory and the execution of these applications. If a student actually raises a crop, makes a garment, prepares a nutritious meal, or built a cabinet as part of the educational experience, the student has not only acquired the rudiment of a skill that will allow him/her to begin to function independently, but has also greatly improved the possibility of successfully applying underlying theoretical knowledge in new ways.

In the vocational classes children get opportunities to handle and manipulate various materials, to know their origin, the places of procurement and the relation between the materials. It enhances the creativity of children to a great extent. The aim of the vocational programme is to enrichandexploit the untapped potentialities in a child and make them feel that they are capable of creating something worthwhile.The child gets appreciation from others. The joy and happiness the child gets after the completion of the assigned work is immensely fulfilling. Inthe vocational class children need to correlate many concepts that they have learnt in the classes of other subjects. It enables the child to develop positive attitude towards learning and avoid the monotony of long hours of academic learning in the usual classroom situation. The spiritual and moral values like cooperation, respect forothers and their things, consideration, sharing, caring etc are also instilled in them as a result of attending the vocational classes.
