Recently taking to Twitter, Temjen Imna Along, Minister of Higher Education & Tribal Affairs, Government of Nagaland shared, “Our education system can be at the forefront of nations only if it is rooted and derived from our traditional strength and knowledge”. The minister made this pertinent statement at the 14th edition of the Elets World Education Summit organised in 2019 in New Delhi by Elets Technomedia along with Digital Learning. The thought gains even more significance as discussions around various aspects and core thoughts of the National Education Policy (NEP) have been doing rounds of introspection.

The minister has been known for being rooted yet forward-looking in the sphere of education, recognizing on various occasions the key role played by women in the segment. He has also highlighted on the WES platform the importance of digitisation in education, the need of North East States for holistic development of the nation, and important factors to impart quality higher education in the country.
With a focus on traditional ways of learning in school and higher education forming core elements of the NEP, successful implementation will allow far greater rootedness in ancient culture, traditions, and the rich knowledge system. The policy aims to put the country as the global knowledge superpower on the world map.
Taking the thought further and seeking the guidance and illuminating opinions of the prominent thought leaders from the sphere of education across domains; Elets Technomedia will be organising the 24th edition of the World Education Summit on 27-28 July at Hotel Le Meridian in Hyderabad. With discussions and deliberations revolving around the present and futuristic trends in the education ecosystem, the summit will look to evolve the roadmap for the effective implementation of the NEP. The summit will also look to highlight innovations in education that are transforming the delivery landscape and making education reach out to the masses. To know more, visit wes.eletsonline.com
