New Delhi: Indian parents are demanding more effective skill-building reforms in schools for girls to increase India’s female labour force participation rate (FLFPR), according to a study.

The reforms can help position India as the Skill Capital of the World, and this vision can only be realised if schools immediately overhaul their curriculum to prioritise hands-on, industry-relevant training for girls, the study by Delhi-NCR-based Silverline Prestige School said.

The survey, conducted among 6,000 parents in Delhi NCR, revealed that over 82 per cent of parents now believe that skill-building in communication, digital literacy, logical reasoning, and real-world problem-solving is more critical than rote and traditional learning for their daughters’ future employability.
