To elevate Uttar Pradesh’s education system to international standards, a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was today signed between the Government of Uttar Pradesh and Australia’s prestigious Monash University.
The signing took place in the presence of UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, marking a significant step towards global academic integration.
The agreement aims to provide students and faculty members from basic, secondary and higher education institutions across the state with a global platform for research, innovation, training and technical collaboration.
Through this partnership, the quality of education in Uttar Pradesh is expected to reach new heights.
Yogi said UP government sees education not just as a way to earn degrees, but as a key driver of the state’s overall development.
“This partnership will incorporate quality, innovation and global perspective in the education system of the state and will prove helpful in preparing the youth for global competition,” he added.
Terming the MoU aligns with the spirit of the National Education Policy 2020, he said it would promote multi-dimensional learning, skill development and international cooperation.
Referring to the state’s earlier collaboration with Western Sydney University, the CM said the new tie-up with Monash University is another major step toward meeting global education standards.
He added that Gautam Buddha University will serve as the central hub for implementing this partnership, and directed its Vice Chancellor to ensure successful discharge of this responsibility.
He also highlighted India’s ancient tradition of knowledge, recalling the Vedic saying, “aa no bhadra kratavo yantu vishwatah” (let noble thoughts come to us from all directions of the world).
He remarked such partnerships will give UP a leading position on the global education map.
Founded in 1958, Monash University currently has 84,000+ students and is recognised as one of the world’s leading research-based institutions.
Monash trains nearly 30,000 teachers annually, including educators from conflict-affected regions like Afghanistan and Myanmar.
Now, teachers from UP will have access to similar world-class training programs.
