In an era where disruptors and leaders are recognized for their contribution across the business, medicine, cinema, technology, etc. why is education NOT there yet? Let’s begin with a question, When was the LAST time a Leader in Education graced the covers of a prominent magazine like TIME, Forbes or Business Insider? The answer is NEVER! With India emerging as the youngest country in the world with an active student population of 315 million, how come education leaders are not being recognized for their contribution beyond the fraternity? While leaders in other industries receive recognition for their contribution, the leaders in the education industry are not given due acknowledgment. When education forms the basis for life’s future, it is quite surprising that leaders in the present are the least recognised of all, if at all they are. Leaders in Education? Who? Some of us are even unclear as to who a Leader in Education is. Let’s break it down.
