    Union Education & Skill Development Minister Shri Dharmendra Pradhan’s visit to Singapore concluded yesterday. The Minister was on a three-day visit to Singapore to strengthen existing ties and explore the possibility of widening the scope of bilateral engagement in education and skill development.

    On the 3rd day of his visit, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan met his Singapore Counterpart, Minister for Education, HE Mr Chan Chun Sing. The Ministers had fruitful conversations on further strengthening the bilateral cooperation and deepening engagements in all areas of education and skill development.

Both the Ministers agreed to broaden the contours of the existing partnership through institutional mechanisms, particularly towards building capacities of teachers and trainers, incorporating future skills into the education and skilling ecosystem as well as exploring engagement with special schools, and sports schools.

    Shri Dharmendra Pradhan expressed his gratitude to HE Mr Chan Chun Sing and the Ministry of Education, Singapore for their enriching participation in the previous three G20 Education Working Group Meetings. Natural allies, like India and Singapore, remain committed to working together for mutual and global prosperity, he added.

    Shri Pradhan stressed that 21st century is going to be India’s century. World-class global universities, like NTU and Indian universities, must collaborate and deepen their engagements to create new models to inspire the 21st century, he added.
