Delegates at the meeting, which was held in Chennai on February 1-2, decided that the G20 will work together to develop a roadmap for enhancing knowledge creation and research.
The meeting was attended by 80 delegates from 30 countries, representatives from international organizations, and special invitees who brainstormed on how to improve technology-enabled learning by working with prominent universities throughout the world.
Delegates at the G20 Education Working Group discussed strategies for:
