New schools popping up
everywhere, what does it mean for your study
abroad plans?
There seem to be
announcements on the side of every BEST bus these days advertising a new
“international school”. Whether it’s the Ascend’s school’s new elementary
programs, HBV’s IBDP efficiently squeezed between the Western Railway tracks
and Marine Drive or the recent shift by the well established Bombay
International school to transition their curriculum to IGCSE and IB, many
entities are vying to prepare students with an ‘international’ education.
But the question is why are these schools growing like mushrooms? And
what does it mean for your plans if you’ve set your sights on higher education
outside India?
