Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan emphasized the government’s commitment to improving India’s education system by reducing students’ dependency on coaching centers and implementing a more comprehensive approach to classroom instruction.
Speaking at Agenda Aajtak’s ‘Shiksha ki Pariksha,’ Pradhan outlined significant changes within the sector, including the globalization of education and the introduction of a multilingual framework in universities.
A core objective of the government’s reform strategy is to phase out the entrenched coaching culture prevalent in Indian education. Pradhan emphasized the introduction of AI-driven learning systems, such as those developed at IIT Kanpur, which aim to facilitate interactive exam preparation for students. “We aim to eradicate coaching dependency by offering these innovative learning tools,” he stated.
The minister acknowledged the complexities surrounding competitive examinations and the evolving educational landscape. Over the past decade, India’s education system has experienced substantial shifts, driven by a strong impetus towards internationalization and robust reforms.
“In the past six months, the education department has confronted numerous challenges. As we reflect on the fifth anniversary of the National Education Policy 2020, our foremost responsibility is to implement it effectively across the nation,” Pradhan added.
