Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has expressed his heartfelt appreciation to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his visionary leadership of the G20.

This inclusive vision has been realised thanks to India's successful inclusion of the African Union (AU) into this coveted group, effectively democratising the G20 and strengthening the voice of the Global South.

Pradhan praised PM Modi's visionary leadership and clear narrative in moving the global education agenda forward under the G20 framework.

He said this has resulted in world recognition for India's education and skill ecosystem and endorsement for the major principles and priorities of our National Education Policy 2020.

Pradhan said in a statement to the media that India's presidency is being lauded for changing the global order to one based on consensus, collaboration, and cooperation.

Pradhan stated that the New Delhi Leaders' Declaration, by prioritising deliberations on critical areas such as Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN), Tech-enabled learning, Building Capacities for Lifelong Learning and the Future of Work, and Strengthening Research and Innovation through Collaboration, has renewed the global resolve to work for an equitable and sustainable future through education and has provided a roadmap.
