“We created this leadership course in association with New Nordic Schools, that touches upon every aspect of leadership, from the point where a leader see education to the vision a leader should have. In the wake of #NEP2020, whatever may have been the vision is fine, but we are redesigning education in India for the next few decades, so how does a leader prepare oneself and their teams, how do you redesign the curriculum, and most importantly, how do you manage a cultural change?" - Revathi Srinivasan, Director of Singhania Group of Schools
