NITI Aayog has therefore proposed moving skilling further into the school system rather than treating it as an option after formal education. It suggested universal General Employability and Entrepreneurship Skills from Class 6 to Class 12, along with structured vocational pathways, or Kaushal Tracks, from Class 9. The tracks would provide deeper vocational specialisation based on local and national demand. The report noted that fewer than one in 12 secondary schools currently offer vocational subjects, despite the National Education Policy 2020 and National Curriculum Framework providing for greater integration of vocational education and employability skills from Class 6. https://indianexpress.com/article/education/nearly-9-crore-young-indians-out-of-school-and-work-niti-aayog-report-plan-to-fix-skill-gap-10845083/
