UNIT IV
Management of Work Education in Schools
The effective implementation of Work Education programme in schools
should comprise the following three dimensions:
1. Scheme of work for the year.
2. Provision of funds and availability of resources – both expertise and
materials.
3. Orientation programmes for teachers.
To look after these three dimensions of Work Education in schools, it is
essential to have a Work Education Committee under the Chairmanship of
the Principal/Head of the school consisting of experts, teachers and
students. This committee will have the following functions:
1. Preparation of the scheme of work for the year in a prescribed
proforma “A” given in the appendix I.
2. Preparation of an estimate for funds for consumable and non-
consumable materials for performing the Work Education activities
and use of resources-both men and materials.
3. Overall quarterly evaluation and monitoring of Work Education
programme followed by evaluation at the end of the academic
session.
Teachers for Work Education
All the teachers of the school should participate in the Work Education
Programme. Core areas of Work Education can be taught by all teachers
after orientation.
In the elective area, teachers can teach elective
activities after undergoing training/orientation in the concerned field.
However, there may be some elective areas which may require teachers
with specialized training. School may employ part-time experts from the
community.
Schools can also employ a Work Education teacher
specialized in one or two areas. He/She will also plan, coordinate and
monitor the Work Education programme in the school under the guidance
of the Principal.
(Qualification & Skill of the teacher is mentioned under each elective
area)
