The Role of UGC, AICTE, and NCERT in
Creating Framework
The UGC, AICTE, and NCERT are the three major regulatory
bodies in the education sector. The UGC is responsible
for regulating universities and colleges in the country,
while the AICTE oversees technical education institutions.
The NCERT is responsible for developing curricula and
instructional materials for school education.
By working together, these regulatory bodies can create
a
comprehensive
framework
that
covers
all
levels
of education, from school to higher education. The
framework can be designed to identify the skills required
in different sectors and industries, and then map them
to the corresponding education and training programs.
This will help ensure that students are equipped with the
necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their
chosen fields. This collaborative effort is all set to lead
to a more skilled and productive workforce, contributing
to the growth and development of the country.
All in all, the Ministry of Education’s call for UGC, AICTE,
and NCERT to join hands in creating a framework for
mapping skills is a step in the right direction. By aligning
education and training programs with industry requirements,
the skills gap can be reduced, employability can be
improved, and the vast talent pool of our country can
be better utilized. On an optimistic front, this collaborative
effort is all set to lead to a more skilled and productive
workforce, contributing to the growth and development
of the country.

Union
Education
Minister,
Shri
Dharmendra
Pradhan
has
recently
emphasized the need for a collaborative
effort by the University Grants Commission (UGC),
the All India Council for Technical Education
(AICTE), and the National Council of Educational
Research and Training (NCERT) to create a
framework for mapping skills in the country.
This framework will help ensure that education and
training programs align with the skills needed in
various industries and sectors, thus reducing the
skills gap and increasing employability. The minister
made the comments in an interaction with reporters
ahead of the third G-20 Education Working Group
Meeting where the priority areas for deliberations
were tech-enabled learning, the future of work, and
research collaborations, among others.
Why is a Framework for Mapping Skills
Necessary?
Currently, there is a huge mismatch between the practical
skills taught in educational institutions and those required
by employers in the corporate landscape. This skills gap
not only affects job prospects but also results in the
underutilization of the available talent pool. This creates
the need for the frame work for mapping skills, which
can effectively reconcile this gap by aligning education
and training programs with the skill sets that various
industries demand.
