In dialogue with Australian officials, including Education Minister Mr. Jason Clare and Skills Minister Mr. Andrew Giles, Shri Pradhan emphasized the importance of bridging skill gaps, addressing workforce needs, and enhancing research collaborations.

The discussions explored avenues to advance partnerships at all levels of education, including school, skills, and higher education, building on the Council’s potential as a platform for sustained bilateral cooperation. Shri Pradhan also announced that the next AIESC meeting will be hosted in India in 2025, further emphasizing the commitment to shared goals in education and skills.

India-Singapore partnership through ‘talent, resource and market’

During a meeting with Singapore’s Prime Minister H.E. Lawrence Wong, Shri Dharmendra Pradhan explored avenues for enhancing bilateral cooperation in education, skill development, and research. The meeting emphasized collaboration across ‘Talent, Resource, and Market’—three pillars crucial to advancing school and vocational education between the two nations. Shri Pradhan highlighted Singapore as a trusted partner in areas like deep tech, startups, and innovation ecosystems.

With Singapore’s Education Minister Mr. Chan Chun Sing, Shri Pradhan discussed practical initiatives, such as overseas internship opportunities for Indian students, joint research collaborations in advanced fields, and curriculum development, aligning with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. This partnership reaffirms India and Singapore’s shared vision of a robust, skill-driven future, anchored in mutual growth and learning.

These initiatives underscore the Indian government’s focused approach to advancing skill-based education, leveraging international partnerships, and recognizing Indian talent on the global stage.
