Dharmendra Pradhan launches National Credit framework report

Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan launches the National Credit Framework (NCrF) report for public consultation today, October 19.

The NCrF has been drafted in line with the National Educational Policy with an objective to enable the integration of academic and vocational domains/components of learning and ensure flexibility and mobility between the two.

Education Minister has urged higher education institutions (HEIs), schools, colleges, universities, academicians and the public, in general, to submit their opinions on NCrF through the state government websites or mygov.in.

NCrF will provide benefits at various levels including in schools (starting from Class 5), institutions, industry and government. It aims to provide high quality education opportunities integrated with effective skills.

According to official reports, NCrF removes the distinction between general and vocational institutions and caters to multi-disciplinarity and holistic education across sciences, social sciences, arts, humanities and sports.

NCrF will enable flexibility for students to choose learning tranjectories and programmes with various career choices, including the option of mid-way course correction/modification as per their talents and interests.
