Indian education institutions are badly lost in dark finding no way to coming out of this uncertainty. Even after present PM repeated skilling call our system has failed to come up with expected outcome. Infrastructure is not that bad on country pet capita income standards but in place of expansion priority should be given to school education particularly on workshop and laboratories to skill every students in at least one trade usually given at ITI level. Need of hour is experiential learning and provision of 24x7x365 operative makers space in every schools. It is foolish decision that students shouldn't be exposed to such machining in school but fact is that if such school not exposed before 12th class intake to engineering can't improve to compete with those of developed country skill level. Infrastructure development in commendable in Bihar but question is can we take lead in skilling at school level?

Problem is much more severe as it looks from outside . System shows apartheid and negligence to this sector throughout the country with no exceptions. Perhaps system( I believe majority are basically incompetent) thinks that it is our fundamental duty to skill ourself to serve them. A honest approach could have been to create some model schools may be Central Schools, Navodya or best weight still seems much deciplinrd system of Vidhya Bharti group of school where we could implement truly mentoring based experiential learning. Majority of salaried teachers has became national burden, simoly a support staff to corrupt and incompetent government offices spmetimes on this or that irrelevant to education, so only option left is pushing up peer learning where every senior class student can be mentoring their juniors on this mission. There should be a good workshop in every distinct head quarter to support any bigger machining needs, preferrably any of better equipped school itself and all teachers well networked closed group, else every school has to try to find local solution. Myth that skilling needs only commercial available gadgets has to go. Everyone has to innovate how to try ideas through local resources. During Covid it kicked off but again manipulators taken over this noble work as business . Example is Atal Tinkering Labs where a babu inside a lavish office decides that this set of components, this set of suppliers and this kind of experiments will make people innovative. They decide that certain kind of machine practices are not good for kids but same skill are taught at so called " International Schools " at Bangalore etc taking hefty fees and people are happily paying as it skills their ward. South Indian schools and colleges are delivering far better skill. Until unless we expose our school students to a minimum skill sets (Sometimes I feel just stop theory or offer theory on demad , because if can't stop use of mobile let them learn from better online teachers available there) concentrate on workshops/ Laboratories hands on /experiential learning Else I see NEP 2020 going same way -some syllabus changes , some experts expenditures.............. all kind of wastage. school can take lead here.
