The Education Minister said, “India will present a new template of education which can be a global model for all emerging economies.”
A G20 EdWG report will be created by the education working group. Knowledge partners for the major priority areas include organisations like NCERT, IISC, NSDC, IIT Madras, IIT Hyderabad, Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, UNESCO, UNICEF, OECD, etc.
Beginning on December 1, 2022, and lasting through November 30, 2023, India will hold the G20 summit, Where India will host over 200 meetings. India is set to invite the likes of the United Arab Emirates (UAE), Spain, Bangladesh, Oman, Netherlands, Singapore, Egypt, Mauritius, and Nigeria as guest countries.
The Indian side has asserted its focus during its G20 presidency for 2023 will be on an inclusive and action-oriented agenda, and that it will work to bridge the digital divide and tackle the challenges of food and energy security in the aftermath of the Ukraine war. As Prime Minister Narendra Modi put it, India will make the G20 a “catalyst for global change” since the world is looking at the group with hope at a time when it is grappling with geopolitical tensions, economic slowdown and rising food and energy prices.
