"Future partnerships with UK higher education institutions will help us promote innovation and create 21st century jobs in Delhi. Insightful meeting with the Minister for Skills and faculties from universities gave us an opportunity to understand their working and curricula being implemented here. Got some really innovative ideas which can be implemented in our state universities," said Sisodia, who is also Delhi's Deputy Chief Minister.
He also visited the University of East Longon (UEL) and University College London (UCL). "The Delhi government is looking forward to collaborating with universities in the UK to work together on different lines such as teacher education, sports, skill development and research. Institutes like UEL and UCL are counted among the top higher education institutes in the world and are working diligently towards the holistic development of students," he said.
The Delhi government had earlier also held discussions with UCL, to explore various avenues such as curriculum design, research collaboration, exchange programmes, creative assessments, etc. with respect to Delhi Teachers University.
"A collaboration between Delhi Sports University and UEL is also on the cards with respect to designing sports university curriculum and capacity building. UEL is known for playing an integral role in the 2012 Olympics which were held in London and it is the top university for sports education in London," he said.
"The university has a dedicated School of Health, Sport and Bioscience, which provides hands-on, experience-led teaching across multiple disciplines in sports.
