One of Indian education's most experienced voices joined us for our first speaker meeting of the year!
Nandakumar V. spent 7 years leading the Tamil Nadu Association of Matriculation Schools — representing 9,000+ schools across the state. He's held senior roles at Dhirubhai Ambani International, Ecole Mondiale, and Oberoi International, and founded CBSE's first Nodal Centre in Southeast Asia.
We asked him the question every parent quietly Googles at 2am: which board is actually right for my child?
What followed was an hour of IB vs IGCSE, Montessori's real merits, how the brain learns, and a case for why the good school near home might outweigh the "right" board across the city.
His excerpts and reflections from the evening are in this post. Worth a read. 👇
