No country can tackle education challenges alone, says Minister Joshi at BRICS meet in Bhubaneswar · theprint.in

Leaders from many big countries met in a city in India called Bhubaneswar to talk about schools and learning.

The person in charge of the meeting was Mr. Pralhad Joshi, the Education Minister of India.

He told the group that no country can fix its education problems all by itself.

He said countries must help each other to be strong and come up with new ideas.

Sometimes bad things happen, like sickness spreading or money troubles, and schools need to keep working anyway.

The world is changing very fast, so lessons and teaching must change too.

The leaders talked about taking care of little kids who are just starting to learn.

They also talked about teaching young people new job skills and helping universities work together.

They agreed to keep working together so that learning gets better for everyone, both today and in the future.
