        abstract = {This study investigates the implementation of vocational courses in secondary schools within the East Siang District of Arunachal Pradesh, employing a descriptive research design to characterize the current state of vocational education. Data was collected from a sample of five schools, selected using systematic random sampling from a population of eight schools offering vocational education. The study reveals a mixed landscape: while student enrollment is rising and teachers are generally qualified (80% of schools), challenges persist in resource availability (only 40% have sufficient materials), classroom conditions (70% of teachers dissatisfied), and syllabus quality (only 30% find it well-framed). Students largely express positive attitudes towards vocational education, with 86% liking the subject and 79% believing it is essential for their future careers; however, consistent class scheduling and comprehensive examinations require improvement (53% for regular classes and 49% for practical classes). Further analysis indicates significant attitudinal differences within the student population, including disparities between male and female students.},
