New Delhi: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Saturday that the new National Education Policy (NEP 2020) has come at a time when disruptive technology such as artificial intelligence and virtual reality have taken solid routes in many sectors.
“NEP has come at a time when disruptive technologies like artificial intelligence, virtual reality have taken solid routes into many sectors. These technologies present a number of opportunities for our children and teachers. Our government has announced National Digital Education Architecture (NDEAR), a unifying national digital infrastructure to energise the entire education ecosystem,” Pradhan was quoted as saying in his address at the Techspectations EDUCATE summit by Careers360.
Manorama Online and JAIN Online, part of JAIN (Deemed-to-be University), held the day-long summit and discussed the emerging possibilities and challenges transforming the Indian education sector in the new normal world.
Speaking on a major reform in education technology, National Education Technology Forum (NETF), the education minister said, “NETF will provide a platform for free exchange of ideas in the use of technology to enhance learning, assessment, planning, administration, and several other aspects of the school as well as in higher education. NETF will facilitate decision-making in the induction, deployment and use of technology.”
“It will not only provide latest knowledge and research but also the opportunities to consult and share best practices with state governments, education institutions and other stakeholders. We must recognise the importance of leveraging the advantage of technology while at the same time acknowledge the potential risk and dangers,” Pradhan added.
