Education or Vocational training?

We Answered:

In the US, the schools are all limited by the No Child Left Behind law, so they can't offer much vocational training, any more (unfortunately!).

what is the difference between vocational training and vocational education?

Vocational education or courses are offered by colleges. In Delhi it is offered by Desh Bandhu Gupta College, Saket.
Vocational training is you take training from a particular place of the choice of your vocation. Vocation means jobs.

Will Vocational Rehabilitation and Education(Ch 31) through the the veteran affairs pay for flight training?

We Answered:

Is it a accredited program by the department of education?
I would call 1-888-442-4551 and ask them if it could be?
I may also suggest you call your local VRE office to ask!

The real question is does it lead a degree or a requirement of a approved program?

June Said:

Should our public education system (US) invest more in vocational training?

We Answered:

Since you're soliciting opinions, I'll add mine. :) I don't necessarily have a problem with schools funding vocational training, but I am glad it is not a primary emphasis of schools. Learning a basic money-making trade (welding, etc.) can be done outside of the school system when a person goes into the world ready to make a living.

IMO, schools are for education, not career training. Education has value aside from whether or not it prepares a person to make a living. It improves a person's life, makes them able to be better voters, better citizens, better parents. As for higher education, that's not mandatory, it's a person's choice. That Art History major may find that $75,000 debt to be money well spent. Can they use it to make a living? Probably not. But does it enrich their life, make them a better well-rounded person, able to see beauty in their world? Undoubtedly.
