Union Education Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank has said that National Education Policy 2020 is a blend of tools enabling the students to compete with the global world, as well as to grasp the Bharat centric values, culture and languages.

Participating in a webinar on Atma Nirbhar Madhya Pradesh – Health and Education’ in New Delhi today, Mr Pokhriyal said, the policy aims to revamp all aspects of India’s education system that were in place over three decades and bring it closer to the best global standards of education.

The National Education Policy has maintained a balance between the traditions and the interdisciplinary approach. He said, the policy has a clear vision and defined objectives. Mr Pokhriyal said, the reforms proposed can only be implemented collaboratively by the Centre and the states.

The Minister congratulated the Madhya Pradesh government for swiftly responding to the current COVID crisis by introducing a series of interventions across all sectors.

During the current lockdown, the School Education Department of Madhya Pradesh has proactively taken upon the task of ensuring that children do not lose out on any opportunity to learn and to continue their academic progress by providing access to tech-enabled learning sources.
