Sumeet Mehta, Co-Founder and CEO, LEAD, said, “A child in India spends 6 – 7 hours in school each day.  Yet only a fraction of these students – those studying in high-fee schools in India’s metros –  enjoy access to internationally benchmarked, high quality education.  At LEAD, we are committed to changing this by empowering schools across India with our Integrated School Edtech system.  Jammu and Kashmir is an important part of this vision, and we will continue to focus on growing our presence in the region as part of our aspiration to reach 60,000 schools and 25 million students over the next 5 years.”

“When teachers are well-equipped with the right learning objective and resources, student learning outcomes automatically improve.  We have experienced this sformation with LEAD, through its teacher training modules, objective lesson plans and classroom management system.  Our students are better able to understand concepts and subjects and their academic performance has improved considerably.  Moreover, many of our students have worked on interesting ojects such as developing websites, as part of LEAD’s Coding and Computational Skills (CCS) program.  I’d strongly recommend LEAD to school owners: they will find a difference,” he added.
