New Delhi, Nov 1: Union Minister of Education and Skill Development & Entrepreneurship, Dharmendra Pradhan on Wednesday embarked on a three-day visit to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) with a strong focus on bolstering educational partnerships and fostering collaborative efforts between India and the UAE.

Pradhan today visited 42 Abu Dhabi, a groundbreaking coding school recognized as the first of its kind in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).

"A first-of-its-kind school in the GCC, @42AbuDhabi’s thrust on removing barriers to education for realising the vision of a tech-enabled future is laudatory. Open 24/7 all throughout the year, it provides perfect flexibility to learners to also learn and earn as per their schedules. Flexibility and learning while earning is also a key recommendation of NEP 2020. Incorporating such progressive pathways is a way forward to empower India’s talented youth and workforce," Pradhan posted on X, formerly known as Twitter.

After visiting the 42 Abu Dhabi, Minister Pradhan engaged in a meaningful interaction with students at the Abu Dhabi Indian School and the faculty at India House.

"Pleased to interact with students of the Abu Dhabi Indian School. One of the largest schools in Abu Dhabi catering to the Indian community, ADIS is nurturing Indian students and instilling in them the culture, values and ethos of both India and the UAE. These students are future global citizens and ambassadors of India and its civilisational ethos," the Minister's other post on X reads.
