We understand UGC current B.VOC model is existing aided colleges can start vocational course like photography, software development and huge fund is given for appointing teachers etc,but since no practical training is provided at the workplace for the students, this model will not provide only diploma,advance diploma and Degree as before and not skills.Please encourage Work at SKPS at factory/construction site/media/company/office and Learn model for skills as suggested by AICTE previously

It is stated less than 5% of the citizens of India are skilled ,this shows the UGC/AICTE model has failed after incurring huge public expenditure for teaching things other than Skills, so request IIT's be made statutory authority for skill development as UGC has been allowing B.Voc courses in colleges without vocational Training at workplace without ascertain demand and by giving huge fund. The AICTE planned NVEQF Work and Learn model to be encouraged, as students receives training onthe job

Think Beyond Skill:Competency Education will be fully envisaged as a lifelong journey, rather than a one-shot, four-year stint.The education will focus more on skill acquisition than disciplinary topics and therefore the university will be organized around competency hubs, rather than academic fields.The education model will move from an industrial revolution-style, one-size-fits-few freshman/sophomore/junior/senior classification to a personal-paced learning program

Vocational and professional approach should be adopted to achieve new skilled human resources.

Total professional approach is required in skill development. The Apprenticeship system followed by British is the best system in honing skills. Simply doing one or two jobs in polytechnics or iti will not produce or make the students skilled technicians. Hence adopt a long term practice and training for all students for skill enhancement.

HELLO FRIENDS PL.VISIT:http://letscareforeducation.blogspot.in/ I HAVE A DREAM, THAT A DAY WOULD COME, WHEN EVERY LEARNER WOULD BE CHERISHED, CREATIVITY WOULD BE WORSHIPED, INNOVATIONS WOULD NOT BE ON THE PAGES OF HISTORY, IMAGINATION WOULD ENCIRCLE THE GALAXY, EVERY DREAM WOULD BE FULFILLED, EVERY FRONTIERS WOULD BE CONQUERED, IDEAS WOULD WORTH TO LIVE AND DIE FOR AND THE STRONGEST WEAPON FOR WHICH A COUNTRY WOULD BE KNOWN WILL BE ITS EDUCATION AND NOT THE NUCLEAR WEAPON!

We have many engineering colleges which more or less "sell" degrees, without imparting the skills needed to survive in an industry. For example, students of ECE do not learn the latest developments in the subject, neither do they have a sound grip on concepts. Students of CS and IT are not given adequate time to adjust to the changing needs of an IT industry, as they lack the skills. Colleges should work in tandem with the industry to develop curricula suited to modern business needs!

It is suggested a Skill development Law mandating government spending a certain percentage of yearly budget towards skill development, it should also specify that any certificate, diploma or degree awarded by any Institution or University should have minimum 60% skill and Practical component otherwise the certificate/diploma or Degree should not be recognised and should be declared invalid. UGC funding should be limited to above courses and Pure Science and Research courses only.

India needs Tradesman,supervisor and Technicians, but parents don't send their children to ITI,Polytechnics as they think these jobs are low paying jobs which doesnot command respect in the society,which is not correct.If opportunites are provided to ITI passed and Diploma passed to continue their education in evening colleges or distance/online non formal mode, then parents may send their children to join ITI and Polytechnics and the nation will get skilled persons to make in India etc

Books being printed by the education boards are sub-standard, poorly structured, badly written less illustrative and do not interest the students. Furher More the books have deteriorated gradually to exclude important matters like social, cultural, moral and inspirational values. Books must be well designed and also supplemented with electronic media, modern technology in order to promote better learning. Conducting expert lectures, seminars and use of TV,media, internet could help a lot.
