Vocational Education in Mainstream of School Curriculum

Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: The disconnect between vocational education and mainstreaming has always existed in India. NEP 2020 seeks to fill this void not only through policy-proposed innovations but also by taking into account ground realities such as interviews conducted in urban and urban-slum areas of Delhi. Inviting experiences from teachers, subject experts, students and their parents, this study highlights barriers such as fragmentation of curriculum, inadequacy of teacher training and social biases. At the same time, first-hand experiences highlight emerging trends through competency-based curriculum and public–private partnerships that promise to open up avenues for inclusive and lifelong learning in India.
