Vocational education is extremely vital for our country to run efficiently and properly, and thus it is beneficial to increasingly incorporate elements of vocational education into the school curriculum to expose children to its utility and its value as art. Indeed, some exposure to practical vocational-style training is always fun for young students, and for many students it may offer a glimpse of future professions while for others it would at the very least help teach and reinforce the dignity of all labour. Vocational Education Focuses on occupation and employment skills; preparing people for a specific trade, skills, and knowledge; it is an apprentice system of learning. It is an essential component of national education and nation-building. As per NEP-2020 vocational courses should start from Class six onwards and followed upto higher level.
