Education is broadly divided into three cate­gories: (i) general education and (ii) technical and professional
education and (iii) vocational education. General education, in this survey, includes general school education from the primary to the higher secondary level, normal university education for a degree whereas technical/professional courses involve the hands on training in addition to theoretical classes. Education like Engineering, Medicine, Agriculture, Management, Chartered Accountancy, Cost Accountancy etc are examples of technical/ professional courses. The education which aims at imparting training in very specific fields through providing significant 'hands on' experience in acquiring necessary skill, which will make them employable or create for them opportunities of self employment and the degree/ diploma/ certificate awarded by the institute should have recognition by State/ Central Government/ public sector or similar employers are included under vocational education. Education offered by ITIs, polytechnics, etc. are examples of vocational courses.
