Alliances with International Chambers of Commerce and Industry

International Student/Teacher Exchange programs from identified Nagpur Schools. Teachers benefit enormously from an international exchange experience. Going abroad and meeting with their professional counterparts, teachers could return to Nagpur with an international perspective to share with their students, innovative teaching techniques, and a renewed sense of purpose.

In fact, many of the graduating new teachers in the US have evinced a deep interest in getting exposure to the school system in India.
