## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF EDUCATION

## (SMT. ANNPURNA DEVI)

(a) to (b): The  Department  of  School  Education  and  Literacy  is  implementing  the scheme  of  Vocationalisation  of  School  Education  under  the  Centrally  Sponsored Scheme - Samagra Shiksha. The scheme aims at integrating Vocational Education with general academic education in all Secondary/Senior Secondary schools; enhancing the employability and entrepreneurial abilities of the students, providing exposure to work environment; and generating awareness amongst students about various career options so as to enable them to make a choice in accordance with their aptitude, competence and aspirations.  The scheme covers Government and Government aided schools.

Under  Vocationalisation of School Education,  NSQF  compliant  vocational courses, based on the Job roles which  have  been  approved  by  National  Skill Qualification Committee (NSQC) under National Council of Vocational Education and Training  (NCVET),  are  offered  to  the  students  from  Class  IX  to  XII  in  the  schools covered under the scheme along with other academic subjects. There is a provision for arranging hands on training, field visits, on the job training for students in industrial set up  and  guest  lecturers  from  industry.  The  State  Boards  conduct  competency  based assessment  of  skills  of  the  students  in  collaboration  with  the  concerned  Sector  Skill Council  (SSC).  Employability  Skill  module  has  been  made  a  mandatory  part  of  the vocational  Courses.  It  consists  of  Communication  Skills,  Self-Management  Skills, Information and Communication Technology Skills, Entrepreneurship Skills and Green Skills. Under the Scheme, 62 Vocational courses/Job Roles across 20 sectors are being offered in schools at present. The list of courses may be seen at Annexure - I.

14435 schools have been approved under the scheme out of which the scheme has so  far  been  implemented in 11,710 schools with the reported total enrolment of 15,63,319 students. State-wise number of schools approved and functional along with enrolment may be seen at Annexure-II.

(c) to (d): 'Education' is in the Concurrent List of the Constitution and majority of the  schools  are  under  the  jurisdiction  of  the  respective  State  Governments  and  UT Administration. Hence,  the recruitment, service conditions  and  deployment  of teachers/trainers  are  primarily  within  the  domain  of  respective  State  Governments and  UT  Administrations.  However,  the  scheme  has  provision inter-alia for  financial assistance  to  States/UTs  for  setting  up  of  vocational  labs,  tools  and  equipment  and engaging  vocational  teachers/trainers.  21271  trainers  are  engaged  in  11710  schools implementing Vocational Education and tools and equipment have been procured in 9547 schools.
