Answer:
Correct Answer: A
Solution:
- Exp. [a] The ‘Recognition of Prior Learning’ scheme ? underway across construction sites in five States ? to certify .skills acquired by workers through traditional learning channels. The project may be of particular relevance to a country where just 2% of the workforce is certified as skilled.
