The Story in Brief
India will chair the BRICS Education Ministers’ Meeting in Bhubaneswar on Friday, with Union Education Minister Pralhad Joshi leading the Indian delegation. Ministers, senior officials and delegates from Brazil, Russia, China, South Africa, Indonesia, Iran, Ethiopia and the UAE are expected to attend.
The meeting will consider cooperation on early childhood education, skills, technical and vocational training, research, innovation and mutual recognition of academic qualifications. A senior officials’ meeting on August 5 finalised a proposed education declaration, which ministers will consider for adoption. Discussions also covered academic leadership, institutional cooperation and traditional and indigenous knowledge systems.
The Indian Opinion
The meeting’s language on future-ready education is broad, and such declarations often promise more than institutions deliver. The useful measure will be whether countries create working arrangements for recognising qualifications, sharing research and expanding skills training. Friday’s declaration should be judged by the programmes and deadlines that follow, not by the number of themes it lists.
