Event Description : TALK "BRICS and Mortar: New Architecture in Education"

Collaboration in education being forged among BRICS through Ministerial Declarations is promising. BRICS Network University established by the Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2015 has far-reaching implications as it creates new avenues for BRICS academic community to collaborate. BRICS leaders also remain committed to 2030 Education Agenda and to collective action for ensuring basic education of good quality, especially vocational and technical education and training for skills development, with common strategies and innovative approaches. These developments call for critical reflections on potential and challenges. Creating greater awareness about education system among BRICS countries is crucial. They also need to look at their education laws and policies in a comparative perspective. Shared position and collective voice of BRICS on education can have huge impact on shaping global developments in this field

Speaker: Dr. Kishore Singh, Former United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education

Chair: Dr. Geetha  B. Nambissan, Zakir Husain Centre for Educational Studies Jawaharlal Nehru University
