Abstract
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks a
paradigm shift in India's education system by emphasising the integration of
vocational education from middle school onwards. This paper examines how NEP
2020's vocational education framework aims to bridge the gap between education
and employability while promoting economic inclusion. The study analyses the
policy's three-tier approach (middle school exposure, secondary school
immersion, and higher education integration), its potential to address India's
skill deficit, and the challenges in implementation. Through case studies of
early adopter states and comparative analysis with international models
(Germany's dual system, Singapore's ITE), the paper evaluates best practices
for curriculum design, industry partnerships, and certification frameworks. The
findings suggest successful implementation requires robust teacher training,
scalable infrastructure, and stronger school-industry linkages. The study
concludes with policy recommendations to enhance vocational education's role in
creating a skilled workforce and reducing socioeconomic disparities.
