New Delhi [India], December 8 (ANI): Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Monday held bilateral talks with his Australian counterpart, Jason Clare, during the 3rd Australia-India Education and Skills Council (AIESC) meeting in New Delhi.
India is hosting the high-level dialogue, with Pradhan and Skill Development Minister Jayant Chaudhary leading the Indian side. The meeting is intended to deepen cooperation on education, skills and research between the two countries.
A senior Australian delegation, led by Education Minister Jason Clare, Immigration and Citizenship Minister Andrew Giles, and Assistant Minister for Education Julian Hill, is in Delhi for the talks, the Australian Ministry of Education said. Ministers, university leaders and regulators from both countries will review and strengthen collaboration in higher education, skills development and research.
Key topics include bolstering higher education links — notably the progress of seven Australian universities planning campuses in India — aligning teacher education standards and early childhood education qualifications, and expanding innovation in education delivery.
“India is one of Australia’s most important education partners. AIESC plays an important role in strengthening collaboration and building the education, research and skills base of both countries,” the Australian Education Ministry said in a statement.
The Australian delegation features vice-chancellors from the University of New South Wales, University of Western Australia, Flinders University, Western Sydney University and James Cook University, along with senior officials from TEQSA, Jobs and Skills Australia, ASQA, and ACARA. (ANI)
