From Classroom to Career: Yogi Government Is Expanding Opportunities for Secondary Students

The education agenda of the Uttar Pradesh government under Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath has increasingly moved beyond the traditional objective of ensuring that children attend school. The larger emphasis has been on preparing young people for the next stage of life—higher education, competitive examinations, technical and vocational education, employment, entrepreneurship and the rapidly changing digital economy. For students studying in Classes 9 to 12, this transition is particularly important because these are the years when academic choices, career aspirations and professional direction begin to take shape.
