It is complete education of utilization of technological mechanical gears, techniques and technological systems and methods that the organizational systems utilize to improve the available solutions to problems and solve the complex problems through it. Technology is known as a function of scientific operations to achieve a function. In today's rapid pace of competitions, technological systems not only solve the complex issues but it also provides system structure to solve the issues.

There was less technological and practical implications. Burns (1992) through his study found that there is great need to provide technical educational systems for all students. In earlier years the traditional technological educational programs were developed that only focused on teaching skill oriented programs. With the advancements in technologies and scientific developments the need to change the technological education was recognized to meet the standards of technologically advanced societies.

For the need to improve technical education system, Johnson (1992) also raised the question that as the working environment and practices are changing and the human resources are required to have high level capabilities, so whether the students are provided the chances to obtain those skills. The timely and positive steps taken by UK to solve problems of educations had greatly influenced the New Zealand educationalists to take the steps for the development and improvement of New Zealand's technology curriculum. New Zealand had undertaken major curriculum reforms in the 1990's that have designed and modified the standard technological curriculums in New Zealand.
