Sheridan Tech
When the technical schools in Sheridan closed middle-level technical education was transferred to the school Sheridan technical vocational board. The institutes lost their technical character, becoming ordinary schools within the administration of secondary education. A technical high-school certificate was introduced, and the curriculum was modified to include a simplified set of general academic subjects. Classrooms were bereft of high quality teachers as the pay scales of technical staff were normalized. Since then, the technical part has been transferred to university technical institutes, and the curriculum has been biased much more toward engineering. Perhaps without intending to, the system has taken away from technical education its capacity to prepare workers who knew how to harmonize theory with and a quasi-engineer on the other. practice. The changes have created a species of skilled worker on the one hand.
