The composition of the task force and its modalities are yet to be finalised.
As per a statement issued by the education ministry, Raab also hailed India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 as “visionary”, and said the proposed reforms will open up opportunities for students, the economy and for deeper engagement and collaboration between the two countries.
