DBTC leads technical education in the Punjab
LAHORE: 12 July 2011-- No-one at the Don Bosco Technical Centre in Lahore could have dreamt of the consequences of the official visit by the Technical and Vocational Training Authority (TEVTA) Chairman. His visits to the more than 450 Centres affiliated to the TEVTA normally last not much longer than 10 or 15 minutes… but he spent a full 2 hours at DBTC, where he was given a practical lesson in Electrical Training with the newly computerised laboratories (non-existent in the rest of the country), interacted with all the local staff and saw for himself the progress of the Centre over the last 10 years. Most importantly, he was touched by the family spirit and judged the whole setting ‘an educative intervention that truly touches the lives of the poorest youths in our country’.
He then proposed a roadmap of cooperation between the Centre and the Government which will maximise service to the local youth. The areas proposed are the following
1.To replicate the state of the art labs at DBTC in some Government Technical Institutes.
2.Consultancy with DBTC on development of Teacher Learning Materials (TLRs).
3.Sending groups of TEVTA teachers to DBTC to study institutional good practice.
4.Training of TVET trainers at DBTC.
As part of the specific initiatives to be undertaken together, a tailor-made course is being organised both for Don Bosco Technical Staff of the South East Asia Region and TEVTA managers in Germany, and a workshop for some 50 TEVTA technical managers will be conducted by the DBTC Team, Lahore this coming September.
It is time to look back in gratitude to Fr Hans Dopheide from the Australia Pacific Province. It was he who pioneered the Project and set up the goals that are now being achieved thanks to his solid foundation and wise guidance during the 1st stages of the Salesian presence in Lahore.
