What is the meaning of vocational training?

Directions: Read the following passage and answer the related question.

The much promised national policy has three major components: selective ban on the morally, indefensible and socially reprehensible practice of child labour, prevention of exploitation of child workers in permitted areas of activity and rehabilitation of those pulled out of prohibited employment.

The 1966 Act has been dubbed as a law that legitimises child labour and the target of attack particularly has been the proviso which in effect says that a child can work if it is part of family labour. This has rendered existing enactments in this field totally ineffective.
The rehabilitation segment of the policy is much too weak to make any impact. In the first phase, about 30,000 child workers are to be freed from the prohibited areas of employment and given education, health and vocational training. If the overseeing of rules and regulations intended to end exploitation – as for instance , higher minimum wages,  non-oppressive work schedule and facilities for rest and recreation – is a question of gearing up the watchdog machinery, social activist groups and voluntary welfare agencies should be given a significant supportive role.
