Gurgaon: Launching the
pilot project on National Vocational Education Qualifications
Framework (NVEQF) here Monday, union Human Resource Development
Minister Kapil Sibal emphasised the need to change the mindset of
parents to promote vocational education in the country.
"India is a country of youth. There is a need to give them such
education, which may get them good employment. Parents will have
to change their mindset in this regard and ensure that their
children get vocational education," Sibal said.
NVEQF, an ambitious national programme to integrate skills,
training and qualifications in schools, has been launched in
Haryana on a pilot basis before being implemented in other states
of the country.
"If someone has to work in automobiles, where is the need to teach
him history? Those who want to pursue studies after schooling can
do so but those wanting to work should be professionally prepared
to get work," Sibal said.
He added that about 100 community colleges would soon be opened in
the country for this purpose.
Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said Haryana was developing
into an education hub of international repute.
"New opportunities are coming up in sectors like IT, automobile,
retail and security, for which there is a need to give vocational
education to the youth".
"Our government is trying to mitigate the difference between need
of skilled manpower of industry and educational qualification of
students by imparting them vocational education," Hooda said.
NVEQF has been launched in 40 schools in eight Haryana districts,
where vocational education will be imparted in four fields -
automobile, retail, IT and security - to students of classes 9-12.
