New Delhi: Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, while addressing a two-day National Education Minister’s Conference in Gujarat said that the Central Government has plans to set up ‘PM Shri Schools’, aiming to prepare students for the future.
“School education is the foundation on which India will become a knowledge-based economy. We are in the process of establishing ‘PM Shri schools’ which will be fully equipped to prepare students for the future”, he said.
He further claimed that these state-of-the-art schools will be the laboratory of new National Education Policy (NEP).
“We cannot deprive our new generation of 21st-century knowledge and skills. I also encourage and solicit suggestions and feedback from all our states and UTs and the entire education ecosystem for creating a futuristic benchmark model in the form of PM Shri schools,” he added.
