<p dir="ltr">Technological innovation influences all areas of life, from the daily lives of individuals to the work of businesses, governments and all industries and interactions on a global scale.&nbsp; It helps meet basic human needs and provides tools for improving people’s lives and exploring new frontiers.</p>

<p>Technological education focuses on developing students’ ability to work creatively and competently with technologies that are central to their lives. As they proceed through their elementary and secondary school education, students attain a level of technological literacy that will enhance their ability to succeed in their postsecondary studies or in the workplace. For students who do not choose to pursue careers in technology, technological education can provide knowledge and skills that will enhance their daily lives, whether by enabling them to work on home renovations or car repairs or by allowing them to pursue&nbsp;technological hobbies.</p>
