NEP can act as template for emerging economies to transform human capital: Education Minister Pradhan

New Delhi: The Union Education Minister, Dharmendra Pradhan has said that the New Education Policy (2020) can act as a template for emerging economies towards developing comprehensive strategies for human resource development. He has claimed so while delivering his speech at the 2nd Voice of Global South Summit, New Delhi.

"NEP as a philosophical document can act as a template for emerging economies towards developing comprehensive strategies and agile policies for transforming human capital into well-rounded global citizens with values of compassion and humility," he said

"NEP has catalysed transformation in our education and skill ecosystem and we are eager to share our experience with partner countries," he said.

"Built on five foundation pillars of access, affordability, accountability, quality and equity, the NEP aims to create an education system that is rooted in Indian ethos, as well as aligned to the 2030 agenda for sustainable development. It aspires to develop our youth as global citizens with values of humanity and compassion," he said.

He also mentioned the need to focus on seamless integration between schooling and "skilling" under the NEP 2020. This will provide the students with the skills to grow in a dynamic environment and be future ready. 

"We have revamped our Study in India portal...We are now welcoming foreign universities to open their campuses in India as well. India will work 'Together for Everyone's Growth, With Everyone's Trust' for global well-being, an equitable world order and for a brighter global future," he added.
