Naina Jain

We always ensure and understand the need to walk the tightrope between tradition and modernity on the one hand and innovation and change on the other, says Naina Jain, Additional Secretary, M.D International School, Bijnor, in an interview with Elets News Network (ENN).

Established in 2014, MD International School completed 5 years of operation recently. How will you rate the journey so far and what is the roadmap for future?

Blissfully to enlighten that within five years of establishment, we have attained our full student’s capacity of around 3000. During our journey, we faced some common challenges such as: increasing enrolment of the students, recruiting and retaining skillful teachers, increasing parental involvement, best sports facilities for students.

We are providing quality education at a nominal fee structure which is easily affordable by parents. The school has received many awards and recognitions including the British Council, Education World, Education Today, Brainfeed, AKS , Asia One , Global Leader Foundations, ISA(Dubai), Digital Learning, National School Award and many more.

What special efforts are you undertaking to create an ideal blend of tradition and modernity in your school?
We always ensure and understand the need to walk the tightrope between tradition and modernity on the one hand and innovation and change on the other. We are committed to foster a caring, safe, inclusive and conducive learning environment in our school so that our goal of development of responsible individuals with wholesome values and personal excellence is achieved.
