ABOUT THE FOUNDER

Sunita Gandhi has travelled to and studied education systems in 38 countries and engaged in innovative work in education
worldwide. She has founded and run schools in India, the Czech Republic and Iceland. These schools and others on three
continents have served as laboratory for her to test ideas of an education more suited to the needs and aspirations of children
living in the 21st century. In Iceland, India and the UK, she has piloted personalized and differentiated methods and assessments
that aim to inspire and empower every child. Her work based on the principle of 'compete with yourself has had an appeal to
educators worldwide. Her school partnership programmes for new and existing schools aim at school transformation.
She has founded and run the Council for Global Education in Washington, DC, USA, the Education Society of Iceland, Islensku
menntasamtokin ses, Iceland, and the Nurture International Welfare Society, India, to promote a new vision of education. Her
latest project, the Global Classroom Pvt. Ltd. in India is to speed-up a process of reform at schools and help create a
demonstration value in the new education based on the principle of 'Compete with yourself'. These efforts have been supported
by her vision and passion for an education that brings out the best in every child for both personal and social good. They are
further supported by research and evidence. She has established DEVI - Dignity, Education, Vision International, a non-pro t NGO
