UGC NET 2022 Politics Including IR Question Paper (09-Jul-2022) (Shift 1)
The correct answer is

50% of learners 

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 is an initiative by the Government of India aiming to enhance the quality of education and make it more holistic and skill-oriented. Among its many goals, NEP 2020 emphasizes the importance of vocational education in the school and higher education system.

According to NEP 2020, by the year 2025, the policy targets to provide vocational education exposure to:

  • 50% of learners in the school and higher education system.

This is aimed at increasing the employability of learners by integrating vocational education with the mainstream education system.

Let's evaluate the given options:

  1. 40% of learners - This is not in line with the NEP 2020 target.
  2. 50% of learners - This is the correct answer, as NEP 2020 aims to have 50% exposure to vocational education by 2025.
  3. 35% of learners - This is incorrect according to NEP 2020 projections.
  4. 30% of learners - This percentage does not match the NEP 2020 goal.

Thus, the correct answer is: Option 2 - 50% of learners.
