News on Edu 11th Sept 2023 ArdorComm Media Group G20 Declaration: Commitment to Inclusive, Quality Education with Emphasis on Technology and Lifelong Learning

In the latest G20 Declaration released on Saturday, member nations reiterated their unwavering commitment to providing “inclusive, equitable, and high-quality” education. Notably, the declaration takes a significant step forward by advocating the use of technology and artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance and ensure the widespread accessibility of education. The declaration strongly emphasized the use of digital technologies to bridge existing digital divides for all learners. It pledged support for educational institutions and teachers to help them stay updated with emerging trends and technological advancements, including AI. Additionally, the declaration highlighted the critical need for lifelong learning, with a particular focus on upskilling, reskilling, and skilling for vulnerable groups in society. This commitment to education is not new for the G20, as previous declarations have consistently stressed the importance of inclusive, equitable education and lifelong learning, with particular attention to marginalized communities. These declarations have also acknowledged the pivotal role that blended learning approaches played during the pandemic. Furthermore, the declaration underscored the significance of foundational learning, including literacy, numeracy, and socio-emotional skills, as the fundamental building blocks of education and employment. It reaffirmed member nations’ dedication to fostering increased collaboration among their educational institutions. The G20 Declaration also reaffirmed the commitment to promoting open, equitable, and secure scientific collaboration and encouraged the mobility of students, scholars, researchers, and scientists across research and higher education institutions. Moreover, member nations expressed their dedication to expanding access to high-quality technical and vocational education and training, recognizing its importance. Building on the previous declaration in Bali, the New Delhi declaration also addressed gender disparities in education, emphasizing the commitment to bridging this gap. It ensured equal access to affordable, inclusive, safe, and quality education at all levels, with a focus on women and girls, including those with disabilities, in STEM fields and emerging digital technologies.

“We cannot escape from technology; it’s an integral part of education now,” says Hema Harchandani, Founder & Managing Director, Canvas International School, Delhi, in an Interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSANewDelhi #ELSAGurugram How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Delhi? The summit is very exciting, and I think we should keep doing these kinds of conferences because it’s an opportunity for every educator to come together on one forum and discuss their experiences in running their schools. We can share how we are implementing learning-based programs and developing knowledge and skills. It’s wonderful, and I’m enjoying it. The theme of our event is India Vision 2030. According to you, what should be the vision for the school education sector going down the line? We have to understand that schools need to create a value system aligned with the goals for 2030 because we are shaping the leaders of the future. The processes and systems must be clearly defined. We need to follow a curriculum that emphasizes critical thinking, communication, creativity, and collaboration. The education system should be learner-centric, and teachers should continuously upskill to ensure our children are future-ready for 2030. What’s your take on the implementation of technologies like AI, VR, and MR in education? We cannot escape from technology; it’s an integral part of education now. However, it should be implemented in a blended learning process, both inside and outside the classroom. We need to strike a balance. We cannot tell the new generation to stay away from technology; instead, we should adapt and use it to enhance their learning experiences. This forum brings together education leaders, EdTech players, and the government. How does this benefit the education sector? This kind of forum is very beneficial because it brings together different educators, government representatives, and tech companies. It provides an opportunity to learn from each other. We can incorporate new ideas and technologies into our curriculum and education systems. It’s a platform where we can all learn and grow together. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group on its 2nd? Congratulations to Chandan and the entire team. You guys are working hard, so keep doing what you’re doing, and keep inviting us to these events.
