Key Employability Skills

Abstract

The paper is an attempt to review the New National Education Policy (2020) with regard to employability skills and skill based learning programs. It tries to analyze the problems that act as a hindrance to the present education system in its inability to produce skilled human workforce to meet the demands of the job market. Issues such as teaching learning method, evaluation system, division of streams, challenges in vocational education and integration of technology and education are discussed. It further tries to analyze what the NEP (2020) proposes for school education towards holistic development and skill based education in order to revitalize the system and make the oldest and largest education system of the world a vibrant and sustainable one.
