NCrF will create new possibilities for lifelong learning and skilling: Dharmendra Pradhan

Union Minister for Education and Skill Development and Entrepreneurship, Dharmendra Pradhan has said at an event that the National Credit Framework (NCrF) “will boost per capita productivity.” The Framework essentially serves as a guideline for syllabus, textbooks and teaching practices for the Education system in India.

He stated, “It will provide us with an opportunity to recognise applied aspects of knowledge and skills. It will create new possibilities for lifelong learning and skilling. NCrF will empower all and lay a strong foundation for India to lead this century.”

Pradhan further underlined that such a Framework will be a key for enhancing the economic convertibility of education, bringing a vast majority of our population under the fold of formal education and skilling, achieving Gross Enrolment Ratio targets.

The union minister for education was participating in the stakeholders’ consultation on draft NCrF at Indian Institute of Technology in Delhi.
