The Uttar Pradesh government has signed an agreement with Australia’s Monash University to bring the state’s education system at par with international standards. According to the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed, the partnership will 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. 

UP Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath explains that the state government saw 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,” says Yogi Adityanath.

The MoU aligns with the vision of the National Education Policy 2020 with its emphasis on multi-dimensional learning, skill development, and international cooperation.

The state signed an agreement with Western Sydney University earlier this year.

Gautam Buddha University will be the central hub for implementing this partnership.
