Dharmendra Pradhan – Union Minister:

• I thank all Ministers and stakeholders of 32 States/UTs for sharing their learnings and experiences on ways to transform learning and usher in excellence in educational practices at the two-day National Conference of School Education Ministers.
  
  
• Curriculum, teacher training, and e-learning frameworks are a priority.
  
  
• I urged for more pro-active support, cooperation and participation from all States/UTs in the development of NCF and in building teacher capacities.
  
  
• The NEP also lays emphasis on skilling. Utilisation of existing school infra is a must. I exhorted the States/UTs to strengthen District Institutes of Educational and Training (DIET) and also leverage the school infrastructure after school hours to come up with substantial number of skill hubs.
  
  
• Every state has its own unique proposition. Suggested States/UTs to also evolve ways to blend curriculum keeping in mind State/UT specific requirements. We all have to continuously work together for a more vibrant education landscape and for making an India of the 21st century.
