Modi Proposes BRICS University and Language Schools

Modi, the Prime Minister of India, wants a BRICS University, language schools and a Young Scientists’ Forum, and he has proposed the same in the sixth BRICS summit.

While talking at the BRICS summit, Modi said, “BRICS should, in fact, be driven by ‘People to People’ contact. Our youth in particular must take a lead in this. BRICS should explore developing innovative mechanisms of youth engagement. A possible initiative could focus on nurturing innovation by establishing a BRICS Young Scientists’ Forum. Another possibility could be the setting up of BRICS language schools, offering language training in each of our languages.”

He also spoke at length about open online courses in his speech. He wants to make numerous online courses available for students so that quality education is easy for all.

BRICS is an association of five countries – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
