Odisha’s Education Minister has taken a significant stride towards advancing skill development in the state by announcing the adoption of Meta’s Technology. This move aims to revolutionize the education structure and equip students with advanced technical expertise, preparing them for a future that heavily relies on technology.
During a recent meeting in New Delhi, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan met with Nick Clegg, President of Global Affairs at Meta, to explore the potential of the company’s technology in skill development. Meta’s Technology is a state-of-the-art learning platform that offers a diverse array of courses, specifically designed to develop industry-relevant skills. The platform places a strong emphasis on emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, data science, and blockchain, providing students with the necessary tools to thrive in the digital age.
Minister Pradhan also highlighted the immense potential for young entrepreneurs to leverage Meta’s technology in growing their businesses, presenting new opportunities for economic growth and innovation.
Furthermore, Minister Pradhan reiterated that the National Education Policy, envisioned by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, encourages technology-driven education. With a firm commitment to digital transformation, Pradhan extended an invitation to Meta to actively participate in strengthening India’s Digital India and Skill India initiatives.
By embracing Meta’s Technology to boost skill development, Odisha is positioning itself as a hub for technological innovation, playing a pivotal role in India’s digital transformation journey. This partnership with Meta’s Technology is poised to shape the future of education in the state and empower its students to excel not only at the national level but also on the global stage.
