New Delhi: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said on Friday that the new National Education Policy (NEP 2020) will drive the country’s education system to newer heights. “Enabling policy structure in the form of National Education Policy 2020, quality educational institutions, societal inclusivity with multiculturalism and focus on innovation, entrepreneurship and internationalisation will drive India’s education system to newer heights,” Pradhan was quoted as saying in his address by news agency PTI.
He was speaking at the diplomatic conclave organised by Chandigarh University.
Pradhan, who also serves as the Skill Development Minister, threw light on India’s inherent strength as a world’s knowledge hub and the role of education in shaping India’s place in the post-COVID new world order.
Citing India’s age-old belief in “Vasudhaiva Kutumbukam”, Pradhan called for preparing global citizens and working together with common understanding to address common global challenges and achieve common goals, reported the agency.
