CARRIER SCHEME BEING REVISED ORIENTED EDUCATION


LOK SABHA

The existing Centrally Sponsored Scheme of Vocationalisation of Secondary Education at +2 level is being revised.

Under the revised scheme the industry and user organizations will be involved at all stages of implementation of the scheme from identification of courses, preparation and design of curriculum to actual on-site training. The courses shall be competency based, modular in nature and demand driven based on the need-based surveys to make them more employment oriented. Opportunity for acquisition of multiple skills shall be available to students to improve their employability. The inputs received from various State Governments have been kept in mind while preparing the revised scheme.

This information was given by the Union Minister of State for Human Resource Development, Dr. Vallabhbhai Kathiria in written reply to a question in the Rajya Sabha today.
