ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Secondary Technical School

A secondary technical school is a school where students learn skills that they can use to get a job later in life. These skills can be things like carpentry, cooking, hair styling, or fixing cars.

When you go to a secondary technical school, you will spend a lot of time in classrooms and workshops. In the classrooms, you will learn things like math, science, and reading. The workshops are a little bit like a playground, but with tools and machines instead of swings and slides.

In the workshops, you will learn how to use different tools and machines to make things. For example, if you are studying carpentry, you might learn how to use a saw to cut wood, a hammer to nail things together, and a drill to make holes. You might also learn how to read blueprints and measure things so that you can build things exactly the way they are supposed to be.

After you finish school, you can use the skills you learned to get a job. For example, if you studied cooking, you could become a chef or work in a restaurant. If you studied carpentry, you could build houses, furniture or work on a construction site. There are many different jobs you can do with the skills you learn at a secondary technical school.
