National Workshop on “Strategy Planning forimplementing RPL for Informal SectorWorkers”

The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) andNational Skill Development Agency (NSDA) organised aNational Workshop on “Strategy Planning for implementingRPL for Informal Sector Workers” on 24th April 2014 atNIOS, NOIDA.

Recognition of PriorLearning (RPL) is animportant associatedfunction of the NationalSkills QualificationsFramework (NSQF),especially in the Indiancontext where majority ofthe workforce has notreceived formal training.RPL gives an option forpersonal or careerdevelopment or to gaincredit towards otherqualifications or learningprogrammes to learnerswho have the skills but nocertificate to prove it. It will

help learners to make clear connections between thelearning they have already achieved and future learning.

The NIOS provides a framework to assess thecompetencies and skills acquired via informal learningleading to NSQF awards as per the level of competencyattained. NSDA decided to take up pilot projects in selectedsectors for RPL along with NIOS and other importantstakeholders.

The consultative workshop was therefore held to gatherIndian and International experiences for assessing prior

learning; to find out concerns and issues related toassessment of prior learning and develop an action planon RPL execution in the context of skill development andwithin the framework of NSQF in India. Participantsincluding policy makers for skill development, curriculumand evaluation experts, private entrepreneurs,representatives from industries and internationalorganisations/ agencies, vocational training providers andNational and State Boards of Technical Education sharedtheir experiences on RPL in their concerned areas.

Training Programme for Common ServiceCentres

The National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) enteredinto an agreement with Common Service Centre,e-Governance Service India Limited on 29.08.2013 with

a view to utilize the servicesof the Common ServiceCentres as facilitation centresof NIOS. There are more than1,20,000 Common ServiceCentres across the countryand it has been envisaged bythe Government of India tohave 1 Common ServiceCentre for every 6 villages toprovide services to its citizensusing ICT. With the help ofthese service centres, NIOSis of the opinion that theseCommon Service Centrescan act as facilitation centresfor NIOS and also promote the

NIOS programmes in far-flung areas where lack ofawareness persists and outreach is difficult.

As Service Centre Agencies are the grass root agenciesfor providing services at the end level, hence, a trainingprogramme for Service Centre Agencies of CommonService Centre, e-Governance Services India Limited wasconducted in NIOS on 04.03.2014 with a view to informabout the programmes and flexibilities offered by the NIOS,about the method by which online services are made
