Vocational Education< Re-defining what it means to be “degreed”>

Vocational Education is Essential, But is it Desirable/ Aspirational?

• How many of us would aspire our kids /children to be plumbers, electricians,mechanics, chefs, masons, accountantsetc?

India is full of talent (skills)

• So many reality shows on the television keep 200 million homesentertained, energized & provide an opportunity to showcase theirtalent

Why don’t we have a reality show like India’s best Plumber or

India’s Best Electrician or India’s Best Accountant?

E.g.: BBC – Had Young Talent of the Year Award –where they used to award

for Plumbers!

“we need role-models & success stories in vocational education to make it aspirational”

Education

• I won’t be better off – there is no

incentive to be better

• Minimal Wages aren’t exciting

• Why invest in training?

• Shorter time to productivity

• Student – probably doesn’t see merit in getting skilled• Employer - doesn’t wants to pay premium wages to skilled workforce• Government – yet to implement quality frameworks & occupational standards• Training Firms – Big opportunity, not aligned with Employers

Key Challenges:

Vocational Education & Training

• Cultural Issues – traditionally vocational education istreated as a poor cousin of formal education

• Imagery related to skills - Essential, though not yetdesirable – since students aspire to earn formal degrees

• Absence of integration of Vocational Education withmain stream education – through parallel tracks, creditexchange mechanisms and multiple entry & exit points

• Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL) – credits &qualification framework needs to be established toensure that people’s existing skill sets can be leveraged

• Industry Oriented curriculum– Huge gap betweenindustry requirements and education imparted

• Lack of access – Inadequate infrastructure for providingrelevant skills
