Some sort of dichotomy seems to exist in the country

Need to bring homogeneity and rationality in the VET programmes offered by different training providers.

The framework should guarantee that all workers at all levels of an occupation are trained, assessed and certified based on standards set for NVQ.

NEED FOR NVQF

Revision/addition of course curricula Lack of modern tool/technology/machinery related to the

revised course curricula Non-availability of qualified instructor/teacher/faculty Training to Trainer Society Acceptability Prior learning Socio-economic/cultural Multiple languagesPublic Perceptions

people are not interested in getting any kind of certification because they feel they will not be benefited by it.
