UK based education group Cambridge International has announced its plan to expand footprint in India with 1000 schools and reaching to over 5 lakh learners in the next three years, catering to the rising demand for global opportunities both in India and abroad.
With over 650 schools nationwide and a growing presence in major cities like Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, and Pune, Cambridge plays a pivotal role in building a quality international education ecosystem.
Cambridge in India contributes to approximately 10 per cent of global revenues which is expected to grow exponentially with this expansion.
Rod Smith, Group MD of International Education at Cambridge University Press & Assessment, recently visited the country and announced the same. Recognizing the pivotal role of teachers in shaping the future, Cambridge International targets empowering 50,000 teachers with enhanced academic resources and training over the next three years.
With a growing acceptance of international curriculum in the country, Cambridge International Education is gearing up to create an ecosystem that can potentially nurture the aspirations of students and their parents, the Cambridge statement said.
It also said that it is committed to empower schools in Tier 2 and Tier 3 markets with tailored solutions.
Speaking on the expansion, Mr. Arun Rajamani, Managing Director of Cambridge University Press & Assessment, South Asia, commented, “In the India the education sector is undergoing a shift towards internationalisation… To address this challenge Cambridge is planning to penetrate deeper into the country to make quality international education accessible to more learners.”
