The role of technical education in community upliftment in Zimbabwe : a historical perspective and avulation

In this dissertation, research was undertaken to trace the development of technical, . education
in Zimbabwe and evaluate its role in community upliftment.
The colonial era ( 1890-1979) and the post-colonial era ( 1980-2000) were examined in this
connection. This involved, inter alia, analysing findings and recommendations of
commissions of inquiry, and provisions of national development plans. Empirical analysis of
the status and role of technical education in community upliftment was also undertaken.
Finally, on the basis of the historical data, findings and conclusions regarding the history of
technical education, as well as its role in community upliftment in Zimbabwe were made. As
a way forward, some recommendations were made which would, if implemented, enhance the
role of technical education in the individual's attainment of meaningful adulthood and
improvement of society's quality of life. / Educational Studies / M. Ed. (History of Education)
