Panel Discussion I: International Experience with NSQF : Creating pathways
While in India, developing a framework for lifelong learning is a recent phenomenon, other
countries have been facilitating competency based learning for several years. The experience of
implementing the framework offers useful learning for India. This session will focus on the
international experience the current status and the challenges faced by the countries to reach this
level. The session will also focus on the learning for India to implement NSQF.

Panel Discussion II: TVET and Higher Education : Possibilities of linkages
In comparison to higher education, a much smaller proportion of students opt for vocational
training. There are issues related to the mindset of students and their parents, limited flexibility for
vertical and lateral shift in pursuing courses and lack of common understanding and not to mention
shortage of faculty. The speakers in this session will explore how the state, employers and the
training providers can engage to work towards a solution to bridge the gap between demand and
supply of skilled workforce.

Panel Discussion III: Developing an Operational Framework (Regulatory, flexibility in entry
and exist points, Credits, Recognition of Prior learning)
NSQF will play a significant role in the achievement of the the national strategic skill objectives. In
order to achieve this, the key area that will need to be addressed would be mobility lateral and
vertical. For this a number of areas will need to be thought through Regulatory aspects, flexibility
in entry and exist points, Credits, Recognition of Prior learning and certification. This session will
examine some of these aspects.
