In this LEAD Story, CR Mahesh of Camford Group of Schools confesses to having envisioned improved student learning in his school. Fulfilling this dream meant, straying away from old-school rote learning and incorporating modern techniques in classrooms.

The best part about LEAD’s unique curriculum is the ELGA classes. ELGA is English Language and General Awareness. For the first time ever, English is being taught to children based on their skill rather than as a mere subject. This has helped our students become confident English learners and are able to apply this strong foundation across other subjects too! I find this method very revolutionary and extremely effective.

All the training for our teachers and staff happened very smoothly. The online sessions could have never happend without LEAD. Live classes and Ask doubts are excellent features on the learning App. 2020 was a very challenging year and thanks to LEAD we have been able to minimise learning loss. Attendance is always a problem and thanks to hybrid learning we have been able to provide high-quality, seamless education both online and offline.

Initially we thought the pandemic would last only for 2-3 months but this wasn’t the case! LEAD however, helped us prepare for both online and offline classes. They arranged many webinars to guide us and train the teachers. Parents refused to pay fees during the lockdown but LEAD showed us a way and helped us recover more fees as well. They have been our academic and administrative partner for more than a year now and I cannot imagine running the school without LEAD’s support.

I have worked in academics for over 20 years. I have always seen only traditional and rote learning. But after LEAD came in, students have started learning using a multimodal approach. There are so many interesting resources and tools that teachers can use to teach both online and offline. The online learning App is doing wonders and parents have become more involved in their child’s learning process.
