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. Rajasthan 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.”
Speaking about LEAD,Mr. A.P. Singh Danewalia, Director, Pioneer Senior Secondary School in Sri Vijaynagar said, “Transforming the teaching mode with LEAD is making studies more interesting for our students. We should always try modern ways to enhance learning. When teachers are well-equipped with the right learning objective and resources, student learning outcomes automatically improve. We have experienced this transformation with LEAD, through its teacher training modules, objective lesson plans and classroom management system. Our students are better able to understand concepts and their academic performance has improved considerably. Moreover, many of our students have worked on interesting projects such as developing websites, as part of LEAD’s Coding and Computational Skills (CCS) program.”
Mr. Rahul Dama, Academic Coordinator of Pioneer Senior Secondary School, said, “The credit goes to LEAD for freeing learning from being exam-oriented. LEAD has done away with the tension of exams, which always overwhelms kids and parents.”

Dr.Pratima Samar, Principal, The Vision Academy School in Udaipur added, “The Vision Academy School was established in 2008 and is today one of the leading CBSE schools in Rajasthan. We had been searching for an integrated school system that would combine modern curriculum, creativity and technology to ensure that our students were future-ready and confident; and LEAD was the perfect fit.”
“Technology has changed the world’s education pattern. After the introduction of NEP 2020, schools have to develop higher order thinking skills, decision-making skills and work on holistic development of the students. LEAD provides an exclusive academic solution with focus on real life application and high order thinking assessments.Using smart classrooms, digital content and learning kits, LEAD removes rote learning patterns,” Dr. Samar added.
