As well as an understanding of the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes that individuals should acquire in order to participate actively within their society.

Specifically, Vocational students from migrant populations in China and the Shudras populations within India’s Hindu caste system will be discussed, and also facilities in their vocational school.
