Statement 2 is correct, while statement 1 is incorrect.

– Statement 1 is incorrect. The National Skills Qualification Framework (NSQF) recognizes that competency can be acquired through formal, non-formal, or informal learning (often through Recognition of Prior Learning – RPL). Certification is not limited to formal learning pathways only.
– Statement 2 is correct. A key objective of NSQF is to provide a framework that enables mobility between vocational education, general education, and the labour market. It aims to create pathways for learners to progress vertically and horizontally within education and training systems.

NSQF is a competency-based framework that organizes all qualifications according to a series of levels of knowledge, skills and aptitude. These levels are defined in terms of learning outcomes which the learner must possess regardless of whether they were acquired through formal, non-formal or informal learning.
