With reference to 'National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF)', which of the following statements is/are correct?
- 1.Under NSQF, a learner can acquire the certification for competency only through formal learning.
- 2.An outcome expected from the implementation of NSQF is the mobility between vocational and general education.
- A.1 only
- B.2 only
- C.Both 1 and 2
- D.Neither 1 nor 2
▶ Answer & Explanation
Correct answer: B. 2 only
The National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) aims to integrate vocational and general education, allowing for smoother transitions between them. It also recognizes competencies acquired through both formal and informal learning, not exclusively formal channels. Therefore, mobility between vocational and general education is a key outcome, while restricting certification only to formal learning would contradict its inclusive design.
