Be specific in what you want to achieve. Advancement of human capability where does the human stand and how companies value human potential. Age of collaboration and not isolation where institutions must look at each other in synergy and not as adversity. We must champion three things a) Diversity, b) Equity and c) Inclusivity. The NEP is a great example that is in its new realm where it tries to change the education system through intent and content.
