NEW EDUCATION POLICY (NEP) 2020: ESCALATING EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS THROUGH VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

DR. RENU SHARMA, KRITIKA CHOUHAN

Abstract

India has been under the yoke of a harsh education system, despite the fact that it is the world's fastest growing economy and the country with the greatest working-age population. A significant demand for skill development has been identified in order to equip young people for their ideal careers. This is because the development of talents contributes to the progress of both the individual and the nation. A New Education Policy is introduced to replace the Root Education System and to introduce a more realistic style of teaching and learning. The NEP 2020 policy conveys that education is the most important factor prevailing in today's society and how vocational education is important for an individual's better career. The study also discusses the potential link between vocational education and the acquisition of employable skills.
