New Delhi: In a move that is likely to boost quality in education
and training, certain courses of Indira Gandhi National Open
University (IGNOU) will be recognised by UNESCO. The university and
the UNESCO today signed an Agreement of Cooperation (AoC) for
identifying special programmes for co-branding. The AoC was signed
during the visit of UNESCO Director General Irina G Bokova to the
university. Both IGNOU and UNESCO will develop cooperation through
academic exchange and collaboration for advancement of quality
education and training, the university said. As per the AoC, IGNOU and
UNESCO will collaborate in promoting a system of research and training
in the fields of journalism and media studies, science education,
teacher training and ICT-enhanced distance learning. Bokova delivered
the IGNOU Silver Jubilee Special Lecture on "Building Inclusive
Knowledge Societies in a Globalised World: Opportunities and Risks".
The collaboration is also expected to enhance interdisciplinary
research, strengthen local and indigenous knowledge systems and
developing methods for evaluating and applying science and technology
with a view to the development of sustainable practices for human
resource development. Minister for State for HRD D Purandeswari said
India's demographic advantage can only be realised if opportunities to
the youth expand through education.
