NEP to Promote Quality Education; says Dharmendra Pradhan

New Delhi: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said that a new National Education Policy will have a technology-driven approach and initiatives such as a digital university to promote quality education.

The changing nature of jobs and Industrial Revolution 4.0 presents us with both challenges and opportunities for skilling, up-skilling and re-skilling the country's vast demography, he said while speaking about the future of jobs.

Pradhan said, “There is a need to adopt innovative and out-of-the-box methods to enhance access to quality and affordable education and to bring our vast population under the formal education and certified skills structure. Creating robust and resilient mechanisms for making education accessible to all is a priority for the government."

"Technology-driven approach and initiatives like Digital University in line with the NEP-2020 will be key to enhance access to quality education. NEP sets the vision and path to cater to the requirements of every learner right from Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) and also for building a vibrant and equitable knowledge society. We are working to integrate skill education into school and higher education to boost employability," he also said.
