GSF’s innovation capabilities will help provide international education to students
Singapore-based Indian origin Global Schools Foundation (GSF) has started implementing its US$550 million investment plan for the Indian education sector with a strategic partnership announced on 19 Jan 2023 with Glendale Schools group of Hyderabad.
The partnership promises to enhance the holistic education provided by Glendale schools through personalised and adaptive learning programmes of the Foundation which are driven by Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence. It also promises to open new avenues for expansion of Glendale in the next few years, said a GSF release.
The foundation had announced its plan to invest in Indian education sector last month. Recognised as the world’s most award-winning education institution, it is reputed for offering a range of international opportunities to its students and teachers.
The Glendale investment details were not immediately known.
“We are pleased to be partnering with Glendale Education, an organisation that has shown incredible commitment to character and values-based education, GSF Chief Investment Officer Prasoon Dayal said on Thursday (19 Jan 2023).
“We believe the innovation capabilities of GSF will help us accelerate our mission of providing top class international education to students in Hyderabad and surrounding cities.”
“We believe that this GSF partnership will further bolster our holistic programme for cultivating character and competence in our students to help them become global leaders,” said Minu Salooja, Assistant Director at Glendale which owns Hyderabad’s top schools including Glendale Academy and Glendale International.
Through international Student collaborations and Exchange Programmes, as well as University Connect Programmes, GSF students get seamless access to top learning opportunities and to representatives of leading Universities for undergraduate studies.
GSF students receive offers from world’s leading universities including Ivy League colleges such as Oxford, Cambridge, London School of Economics, Harvard, UC Berkeley and others.
GSF’s extensive network of international teachers and training programmes will also be available to Glendale teachers, who will get a chance to expand their skills through collaboration, and polish their competencies through professional development courses.
In addition, GSF University – the Skills and Development arm of GSF – will also offer these courses to non-academic staff to help provide extensive skills training and develop subject-matter expertise.
Global Schools Holdings, an entity of GSF, has been handpicked among thousands of entities by Enterprise Singapore (ESG), for its high potential growth prospects in the global arena.
GSF, a Singapore-based not-for-profit Foundation which reinvests for growth, has a network of 35 campuses across 11 countries and educates 32,000 students from 70 nationalities. fiinews.com
