In 1986, under the national policy of education, the Government had started vocationalising the education. Since most of the courses pursued by a student have practically little relevance to his future career path, the need for introduction of Vocational courses at high school and Higher Secondary level was severely felt. In Andhra Pradesh, the Board of Intermediate Education is conducting Vocational courses in certain Junior Colleges, all over Andhra Pradesh. Vocational Courses can be classified broadly as follows:
