Proposals invited to impart vocational education in 64 government schools

Ministry of Education (MoE, erstwhile Ministry of HRD) brought out a revised Centrally Sponsored Scheme for Vocationalisation of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (CSS for VSHSE) to integrate employability education into School Education in September 2011. In 2018, this scheme got further revised and brought under the integrated initiative (Samagra Shiksha) by MoE and termed as Vocationalization of School Education (VSE). The revised norms allow a student to complete training in one Job Role in 9th and 10th standards; followed by another Job Role in 11th and 12th standards.

• The scheme is operated within the NSQF (National Skill Qualification Framework), which establishes a system of clear educational pathways from school to higher education while providing certification of vocational skills.
• The Government of Jammu & Kashmir (J&K) has been implementing VSE in 553 schools till date, as per approval and funding from MoE and Government of J&K. In 2020-21, Government of J&K has been approved with additional schools from MoE, for implementation of VSE.

• In the earlier REoI (EoI No.: NSDC/GoJK/VSE-SS/EOI/0203-1303/2020 dated 2nd March 2020) on shortlisting NSDC-approved Training Partners for schools in J&K, specific requirements pertaining to ‘Agriculture’, ‘Plumbing’ and ‘Sports’ sectors only, have been abolished by competent authority. The schools in said sectors of the earlier REoI has been included (along with additional schools, allocated by Govt. of India to Govt. of J&K, wherever applicable) in the present REoI document, and has been rolled out with further revised clauses. Thus, the proposals submitted by NSDC-approved Training Partners for Agriculture, Plumbing and Sports sectors against the earlier REoI (EoI No.: NSDC/GoJK/VSE-SS/EOI/0203-1303/2020 dated 2nd March 2020), stand null and void.
• The Govt. of J&K is willing to outsource the entire Training Delivery in additional Government Schools, as approved by Govt. of India, to NSDC-approved Training Partners. The Govt. of J&K has approached NSDC with a request to float REoI on their behalf and provide a panel of shortlisted NSDC approved Training Partners for the roll out of the scheme in 64 additional Government Schools from 2020-21 academic session.
