Origin
·
Oct
2014: SAARC education ministers’ meeting held at Delhi

They
issued a joint statement called “SAARC Delhi declaration on education”.
<==== About SAARC, its countries and summits =====>
Education for
all
·
Students
from disadvantaged groups, cannot finish education or gain vocational skills,
due to discrimination and poverty. Therefore, we’ll adopt “inclusive education”
policy.
·
We’ll
increase budget provisions for above “inclusive education”, Gender equitable
education and higher education.
·
Thus,
we’ll achieve Education for all / Universalization of education (= in long term less terrorist-recruits for ISI).
But how
·
School
dropouts in 15-24 age group, will be given vocational training / distance
education.
·
Promote
Massive Open Online Course, e-learning, ICT tools for learning.
·
Mutual
recognition of paper degrees, Harmonize of academic standards. So migrant
workers can get job easily in another SAARC member-country.
·
Each
member will share its best education practices
Colleges
·
Each
SAARC nation will develop an accreditation system. So foreign students can know
the bogus colleges before applying.
·
Student
and faculty exchange programs among SAARC members.
·
Linkages
between universities, R&D bodies and think tanks.
·
Networking
among scientists, students and organizations.

Four
years back, we had setup South Asian university in Delhi

2015, June for this.
