The Policy observes that less than 5% of the Indian workforce within the age bracket of 19–24 years received formal VET when compared to other countries, such as the USA (52%), Germany (75%), and South Korea (96%). While identifying the need to hasten the development of vocational skills, the Policy highlights the importance of removing rigid distinctions between vocational and academic streams, eliminating harmful social hierarchies between different areas of learning. The Policy aims to ensure that by 2025; at least 50% of the learners across schools and higher education systems have exposure to VET. This session will provide platform for discussion on strategies for strengthening and better implementation of the VET in schools and higher education, based on the recommendations of the National Education Policy 2020.
