The World Bank’s ‘Jobs at Your Doorstep’ report suggests that schools in sectors like services, agriculture, manufacturing, and IT could provide significant opportunities for school-based skilling.
The report aims to align trades offered in schools with industry-specific needs across six states, including Himachal Pradesh, Kerala, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha, and Rajasthan.
The six states are collectively under the ministry of education’s Strengthening Teaching-Learning and Results for States (STARS) project. The World Bank assists the MoE with its STARS program, which has a national component under which key reforms are shared and disseminated for implementation.
The World Bank has conducted a preliminary study on skill and job diagnosis based on local requirements and demands. The report highlights the benefits of embedding skill-based education in classes 9-12 to prepare students for diverse career paths.
The study aligns with the National Education Policy (NEP), 2020, which emphasizes large-scale integration of skills education in schools as a critical agenda. The study presents varying socio-economic profiles and offers a nuanced view of industry and government contributions.
