Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan stated on Monday that a NEP-led transition is taking place in India's education system, with a critical role in changing our young population into future-ready, responsible global citizens. The minister was addressing at the USISPF India Leadership Summit 2024 in the capital.

Pradhan said that the primary focus of NEP 2020, is to create a vision and create confidence among the students.

"NEP has completed four years. It is a philosophical document to produce, to create globally responsible citizens because India is a country of town population, and in the next three decades, that demographic dividend will be with India. For me, the primary focus of NEP 2020, is to create a vision, and create confidence among the students and also develop competency. Because competency is more important than a degree and certificate," he said.

The education minister said that in the next two decades India will be the growth engine of the Global Economy.

"NEP-led transformations taking place in India's education system and its pivotal role in transforming our young demography into future-ready, responsible global citizens. In the next two decades, India will be the growth engine of the global economy. Priority areas of NEP-- integration of technology in education, encouraging learning in Indian languages, fostering a culture of research & innovation and thrust on competencies & employability skills, places India well to reap its demographic dividend. NEP 2020 is going to have a global impact," he said

"Another focus of NEP is global standard research. Tie up with institutions, tie up with new areas, tie up with governments," Pradhan added.

Pradhan said that all youngsters must get the opportunity to pursue equitable education.

"We have to give opportunity to all our youngsters, equitable education, inclusive education, affordable education, and quality education. We are inviting foreign universities in India to open their campuses in India. Sizable Indian students are going overseas. For Speed, around a million youngsters are going to different parts of the world for higher studies," he said.

This National Education Policy aims to address the many growing developmental imperatives. This Policy proposes the revision and revamping of all aspects of the education structure, including its regulation and governance, to create a new system that is aligned with the aspirational goals of 21st century education.
