Technical High School Payyoli

History

Technical High Schools (T.H.S) of Kerala, originally known as Junior Technical Schools (J.T.S) were started 1960-61 with the aim of grooming technically talented youth among the weaker section of society who could be employed in the then flourishing industries of as T.E.L.K also P.W.D and K.S.E.B. In the early years of T.H.S, many of the dents could manage to secure jobs in such industries where the know-how acquired at the T.H.S-10th standard level was sufficient. The medium of instruction for the general as well as the technical subjects was Malaya since it was generally considered sufficient to secure a job in the state. However the scenario has changed entirely in the recent years. The direct job prospects of a THSLC passed student has dwindled considerably. Instead, the growth of technology over these years and globalization phenomenon has opened immense employment prospects for skilled technicians and engineers with diploma and engineering degrees. Thus we cannot afford to think of THS as a terminal job landing course; instead it has become imperative to think of THS as a stepping stone to higher technical education so as to enable our students to secure good jobs within and outside the state. The need to equip the students to compete with peers has become imminent, both in technical and in communication skills. Competency and skills in the relevant areas are indispensable to compete in the job market of tomorrow, where the employers and employees are expected to function beyond national boundaries.
