Quality vs Quantity in Education
• Are we producing unemployable youth?
• A research shows that 67% of Indian employers
reported that they struggle to find workers who
meet their requirements.
• “80% of the workforce in rural and urban areas
does not possess any identifiable marketable
skills.”
• 75% of future job opportunities will be “skill-
based.”
http://monitor.icef.com/2013/02/to-upskill-workforce-india-goes-international/
Vocational Education in India • Labour Force as % of Population is 45 %
• India has one of the lowest productivity index in the world.
• Number of people undergoing TVSD courses in the ‘organized sector’
about 3.5 million {& 45 million in the ‘unorganized sector’ (estimated)}
• Percentage of work force undergoing some sort of TVSD course 8%
to10 %
• Nearly 20 Ministries of the Government seem to be imparting TVSD
courses. The largest are the Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of HRD.
• Ministry of labour has more than 5000 ITI’s. Ministry of Education has
about 700 Polytechnics and about 6000 Vocational schools.
• The National Policy for Skill Development, adopted in 2009, aims to
create a skilled workforce of 500 million people by 2022.
• The NSDC alone is tasked with training 30% of the 500 million workers.
What ODL contributes?
• Out of 21.1% GER in higher education, 3.5 million students enrolled
in the open and distance institutions that comprises of 12% of the
total enrolment of 29.6 million in higher education in the year 2012-

and 80% students are enrolled in the undergraduate level
programmes.

universities.
• In schooling level except state open schools, cumulative enrolment at
NIOS is 2.71 Million (Secondary - 46%, Senior Secondary - 49% &

world.
Why ODL for Vocational Education?
• ODL can play a major role in skilling a large number
• It can provide the support in skilling and re-skilling
• It has the flexibility and learner friendly approach
• ODL play a significant role to those who could not get access to
the formal education system
• It is cost effective and can take place while continuing full-time
employment

Recommendations
1. Alignment of the courses with NSQF
2. Development of courses on local need
3. Innovative curricula based on need assessment, may consult
the NSDC Skill gap report
4. Design curricula as per industry requirement
5. Development of infrastructure
6. Stop duplication, use/ adopt OERs
7. Adopt appropriate policies with autonomy to the institutions
8. Mandatory internship/ hands on activity/ workshop
9. Design SLMs with blended and user friendly approach; need
more emphasis on ICT
10.Need attention for all category of people considering age,
gender, ability, location
11.Instructional design for Persons with Disability
12.Assurance of maintaining quality in designing, implementing and
delivery of vocational courses through ODL.
4 key issues for vocational education through ODL
- To be local
- To engage the private sector
- To be up to date
- To be open to the world
