IGNOU to promote vocational education in Madhya Pradesh
New Delhi: The Indira Gandhi National Open University (IGNOU) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Commissioner of Higher Education, Government of Madhya Pradesh (MP).
The MoU has been signed in order to offer certificate, diploma and associate degree programmes in Vocational and Skill Education through its Community College.
"Our government has declared 2010-2020 as the 'Decade of Innovation'. We need to achieve inclusive and sustainable growth in education and skill development. New solutions in many areas are necessary to reach such targets in expedient ways. We have the largest youth population in the world. We need to explore all the possible ways and means to provide them education and employable skills," said Vice Chancellor V.N. Rajasekharan Pillai.
"The Community College will identify academic programmes to be offered in the community after the need-analysis of local job requirements and opportunities and incorporate these findings into the curriculum, and if so required, shall take assistance from IGNOU in identifying the programmes. Programme delivery is the responsibility of the Community College," said the MoU.
"All the programmes offered by the Community College shall have enrollments twice a year i.e. July and January, for which the term end examination will be conducted twice a year, i.e. in December and June. Programme-wise list of registered students shall be submitted to IGNOU within 15 days of completion of admissions," it added.
