Abstract:
The National Education Policy 2020 (NEP-2020) aims to transform the Indian education system by promoting a comprehensive and skill-based approach to learning. One of the key pillars of NEP-2020 is the integration of vocational courses within the mainstream education system to enhance employability and promote practical skills. This will bring in a very large number of schools, colleges and universities into the fold of potential Vocational Education and Training providers during the coming decade and make vocational education available to millions of students. The NEP 2020 is a comprehensive policy document that extensively discusses the overhauling of vocational education. This research paper presents a systematic review of studies that assess the effectiveness of vocational courses in implementing NEP-2020. By examining the available literature, this study aims to identify the strengths, weaknesses, and potential areas of improvement in the implementation of vocational courses aligned with NEP-2020. The introduction section provides an overview of NEP-2020 and its key objectives, with a specific focus on the integration of vocational courses in the education system. It also outlines the significance and rationale for conducting a case study analysis to evaluate the effectiveness of vocational courses in implementing NEP-2020.
