Result
Your answer: —  Â·  Correct: B
Explanation

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 aims to overcome the social status hierarchy associated with vocational education by integrating it into all educational institutions. Statement 1 is correct as the policy sets a target that by 2025, at least 50% of learners through the school and higher education system shall have exposure to vocational education. Statement 2 is also correct; the policy emphasizes that secondary schools will collaborate with Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs), Polytechnics, and local industries to provide practical exposure and vocational training [2]. Statement 3 is incorrect because vocational education is not exclusively provided by NGOs; rather, it is to be integrated into the mainstream curriculum of schools and colleges, supported by various government and private stakeholders to ensure a holistic educational approach. The policy focuses on vocationalisation and networking to improve quality and access [2].
