New Delhi: Education is a key pillar of Viksit Bharat, said Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, on July 9 and called on states and Union Territories (UTs) to work together to achieve the goal. He was addressing the inaugural session of a review meeting of the Department of School Education and Literacy with states and UTs.
While lauding the tremendous progress of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 in the last four years, Pradhan also shared his thoughts on the roadmap for the next five years for the holistic development of school education across India.
Pradhan noted that in order to transform “Bharat into a knowledge superpower and enable equitable and inclusive access to quality education, implementation of NEP is key.” Further, Pradhan said that the NEP stresses the importance of education in the mother tongue. “Ensuring an education system which is both rooted and futuristic is our collective responsibility,” he added.
