Md Nadimul Haque’s Supplementary Questions on reintegration of dropped-out students into the vocational education domain and the ministry’s monitoring of skill development by the states

Sir, in the context of the National Credit Framework, which was launched for public consultation in October by the hon. Minister, I want to know this from the hon. Minister. How will the National Credit Framework enable the integration of academic and vocational domains to ensure flexibility and mobility between the two? Also, how is the Ministry planning to bring back the students and candidates, who have dropped out of the mainstream education and training programmes, to re-enter education as well as vocational ecosystem? Sir, I will definitely take it up but I thought that he would be better prepared. Anyway, the dropout percentage is higher than the placement percentage of candidates. So, how is the Ministry monitoring the performance of all the States in the field of skill development when only 15 out of 36 States and Union Territories have a functional online management system for Centrally-sponsored State management component?
