Tall trees often have deep roots. A strong foundation is indeed the most important ingredient of building anything lucrative and long-lasting. School education is something similar. It forms the base of an individual’s life’s trajectory. Hence, the importance of good school education can hardly be overemphasized.

The Indian school education landscape has undergone massive evolution over the past few years. Teaching, learning and the business of education is vastly different from what it used to be couple of years ago.

Technological advancements and modernization have been key in transforming education in India. Today, there is also increased emphasis on the adoption of experiential learning as a dynamic approach to education. The recently implemented National Education Policy (NEP) of 2020, has been pivotal for Indian school education as it envisions an education system that is rooted in Indian ethos. It truly envisions an India where quality education is provided to all.
