Work education- the real education

    

Overview

          In this world many people lack behind in practical knowledge of real life, they don’t even know how to cook the food, can’t iron their clothes and many more daily life work. We see that many students after passing the school and collage, are very poor in practical knowledge of real life; they feel very      helpless in many situations because they have only bookish knowledge, but not the practical application of the education. 

Ø Experiences are the windows of our brain.

       It is very difficult for an individual to survive easily without the practical knowledge of real life. We have to learn the work with hands for the betterment of ourselves and for society.

                 In our daily life we see that many people do different activities manually, we ourselves also do many different physical activities from sunrise to sunset or up to the late night. We cook food at home, we wash our clothes, a person rides on a bicycle, a person packs a parcel in a factory, a person makes a paper bag, a mechanic repairs a bike or a car, a person cleans the road, a person repairs mobiles, t.v, laptop; a person builds house and so many activities.

 

The Important thing is that we cannot separate the physical work from our daily life.We see that work is essential part of our life and by which we fulfill our needs. 

 

Now tell me ,With whom does our Livelihood relate ?

   We can say that our livelihood is closely related to work(labour),e.g A rickshaw puller earn money by doing physical labour,a farmer does physical labour to grow the crops , a barber also earn money by physical work, a halwai (confectioner) does physical labour to prepare sweets, samosa and many other eatable things.

                    A car assembler assembles the different parts of a computer, Workers of a mobile network company do many physical work and provide service to us. 

                    Physical labour is very important in our life, a house in which we live, is the output of someone’s physical labour and so many examples are there.

    So we can define work as an activity which includes physical labour and by which we get some meaningful product or a service for oneself or for our society. 

Ø Meaning/concept  of work education:-

   @ LEARNING BY DOING @

 What can we learn from our ancient education system?

            In olden days, students were lived in the ashrams with their gurus (teacher) and used to do all their daily work themselves. And by this they learned many life skills for their survival. They used hands and mind for their work. That was the real example of work education.                                                          

    We perform a lot of activities in our daily life and we learn so many things by doing some particular tasks. Just think, why does a person take education?     Every person wants to earn her or his livelihood by the use of education. Our education should be like that so we can enhance our life experiences. Education should be for the betterment of an individual and for society. For that

• we should educate our mind through our hands. 

            Work education is the work experience, means an education which is given by hands-on experience. In short we can say that Work education, is the knowledge (practical work, physical work) that we learn to enhance our life.

It is a bridge between manual work and bookish knowledge.
