While discussing the report, Chief Minister Pramod Sawant stressed the importance of apprenticeship under the National Skills Qualifications Framework (NSQF) for skill upgradation of school students from Class X onwards.
The report analyses the quality of education in public schools across the state based on the present status of school education, socio-economic differences among students, and the state government’s present policies.
