India, Australia sign deal to recognise qualifications-Education News
The agreement was signed following a bilateral meeting between India Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan and his Australian counterpart Jason Clare, who is on an official tour to India till March 5.
The agreement is part of the commitment made at the second India-Australia virtual summit held on March 21, 2022, wherein the Prime Ministers of both countries agreed to establish a joint task force for mutual recognition of qualifications. The Union education ministry, in a statement, said a task force was accordingly set up comprising senior officials of education and skills ministries and regulators on both sides. “It has come up with a comprehensive mechanism that covers both education and skill qualifications of the two countries and will help facilitate two-way mobility of young people for education and employment purposes by mutually recognising various levels of education and skill qualifications,” it said. Addressing the media, Pradhan said Australia and India are aligned to make the knowledge pillar a key aspect of the bilateral relationship. “The developments today will create more opportunities for two-way mobility, empower citizens and pave the way for making education the biggest enabler in taking India-Australia bilateral relationship to greater heights and add vigour to realising shared aspirations,” he added. Besides, the two countries also signed 11 institutional memorandums of understanding (MoUs) for collaborations, the ministry said.
