The Need for National Vocational Education
Qualification Framework ?
Indian workforce largely in informal employment in unorganized sector - with low levels of literacy and numeracy- no mechanism available for them to enter formal education system
Hence, desirable to focus on educational component to build a sound TVET system
Also, need to build a general education element into VE, and vice versa, to ensure a holistic approach to human resource development
