Although theory and investigation show that this impact is positive, at INET we believe it is also important to ask students what they think. When they were asked more specifically, 12.4% answered that technical schools should offer specialized technical education, while 19.9% believed that they should facilitate job placement. Although in many places, technical school is the only form of secondary education available to youth, more than 70% of the students and their parents chose technical schools as their first option. Additionally, 88.9% of graduates responded that technical schools offer an advantage over non-technical schools. 83% of students polled maintained that the technical education fulfilled their expectations.
