The Jaipuria family has made its presence felt in the education sector for the past 75 years in India. Seth Anandram Jaipuria group has been expanding and now has established many K-12 schools in States like Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Madhya Pradesh and Bihar. We also operate two renowned business schools, Jaipuria Institute of Management and Jaipuria School of Business in Ghaziabad.

The vision and the objective of the founders were to leverage education as the most powerful instrument of empowerment in the independent India. The group brings together a great learning community striving to build independent and responsible global learners. Our learner-centric teaching practices, blending traditional deep-rooted values with the 21st century skills are the gateway to the future. It imbues use of modern resources, developing young minds to think, question and create, encouraging the 3 C’s – Curiosity, Critical thinking and Clarity by continuously integrating leading edge technology with latest pedagogical innovations provides a diverse collaborative platform to our students.

Problem solving through Project-based Learning (PBL), Mutliple Intelligence (MI), STEAM, ATAL Tinkering labs, Robotics, Math Labs, language Labs, Microsoft Education, along with various activities focused on environmental issues and community service catering to cognitive, socio-economic and linguistic diversities helps in preparing socially responsible citizens.

Being a proud group which has given seven “All india toppers” in both its CBSE and ICSE schools in grade x and xII for two consecutive years and with several 100% scorers in various subjects, we have proved beyond doubt that our students are upholding our legacy.

However, these results generally do not happen in a day. These are the outcome of continuous perseverance of all the school stakeholders with a focused objective to excel. Modern society demands high quality teaching and learning from teachers. Understanding that it is crucial to keep teachers knowledge up to date, so they can deliver high quality teaching, we conduct regular faculty development programsmes. The training curriculum is designed to update domain knowledge, subject matter mastery, upgrade skills and provide hands-on experience to the teachers under the guidance of experts empanelled with CBSE, NCERT, CIET, NIIT etc.

We have to align our pedagogical practices towards Education 4.0. In order to prepare for it, we must revisit the educational paradigms, and focus on the areas that need rethinking. The teachers are trained to be IT-enabled and we are proud to say that all our schools have Smart Classrooms and our school in Lucknow has been awarded with Microsoft certification. It has the distinction of having a tie up with Japan’s largest on line programming learning service, PROGATE, giving opportunity to learn coding and several languages like Ruby, Python Javascript etc.

Seth Anandram Jaipuria roup believes in shaping its students well for future challenges. This strong idea is embedded in the enrichment of students’ experience through all-round participation and sculpting opportunities in academics, cultural and sports activities, as well as leadership programmes.

Our well-balanced curriculum emphasises on co-scholastic activities and encourages every student to learn beyond subjects and brings out social skills, intellectual skills, moral values, which helps in personality development and character building among students. “Sangeet 4 All” has been introduced for the primary classes which has greatly enhanced joyful conceptual learning in literacy and numeracy. The students not only participate enthusiastically in sports, cultural events, library activities, CSR, creative arts etc but have brought laurels by winning awards.

In this global world, opportunities for communication and collaboration have expanded substantially. The schools have stepped up their International Linkage through student exchange programmes, NASA visit, on line learning programmes etc.

Our schools have been conferred with various prestigious awards in diverse fields like innovative curriculum and pedagogical techniques, innovation and global collaboration learning, environmental sensitisation, Microsoft certification, ISO certification, ISA, excellence in social and public service, All India Council for Robotics & Automation (AICRA) under the category of “Most Emerging School as Robotics Education Provider” to name a few!

We strongly believe in service with pride, lead with confidence, inspire to impact others and the philosophy that education is the prime contributor to the development of self, an extension of the society and diverse human enterprise. Continuing our commitment to contribute to the society, Seth Anandram Jaipuria School Kanpur, runs a special education programme for the underprivileged. We also run Charitable Guest Houses in Haridwar, Chitrakoot, Vrindavan and Seth Anandram Jaipuria Eye Hospital, nawalgarh, Rajasthan.

The Jaipuria family has contributed to the society immensely by planning, constructing and managing the beautiful Ramdarshan Mandir in Chitrakoot. The group leads in contributing towards nation building by joining hands with groups like GOONJ and CRY to help the nation during natural calamities. The students of each school are encouraged and motivated to participate in CSR activities.

The group is committed to expand in the field of quality education and shares a common goal and vision to ‘Empower, Enthuse and Excel’ by helping individuals realise their true potential, through quality education and development. The group has many franchise schools and has also ventured into preschools with a brand ‘Little one’.

With more than 20,000 students the journey is challenging yet definitely exciting and motivating. There is nothing better in this world than seeing a student succeed and knowing that you helped. We plan to have 50 schools by 2025 across India. Constantly updating, inventing and equipping with latest methodologies, Seth Anandram Jaipuria group believes in shaping its students to handle future challenges with aplomb.

“We don’t need technology geeks which are good teachers; we need teaching geeks who are good with technology. Because I firmly believe, no technology can replace a teacher but definitely good technology given to a good teacher will absolutely change the environment,” said Brijesh Karia, National Business Head, Robomate+.

He was speaking at the 12^th School Leadership Summit Pune, organised by Elets Tchnomedia and powered by digitalLEARNING on May 18, 2019. Karia was among the key speakers who graced the inaugural session of the summit with their presence. In his address, Karia talked about certain pressure points students are facing and best practices being followed in the last 2-3 years.

Highlighting the fuss created around Class 10 board exams, he said, “I am working with 300 plus schools across the length and breadth of the country. We have been seeing a lot of changes. Everyone would agree that board has become the centre of a child’s life, especially Class 10 students. I was talking to one of my students recently and it made me realise that children are put under so much stress, pressure, and durance for no reason whatsoever”.

Sharing his personal communiqué with a child over the matter, Karia said, “When we talk to students, when we counsel them, we ask one question – “What is your biggest problem? Their biggest problem is lack of time. After spending 6 to 7 hours in school they are forced to go to tuitions for 2-3 hours. So, 10 hours of a day either they are sitting in the school or a coaching class plus 1-2 hours of travelling. Then after coming back home from coaching, they have to finish homework given at school as well as tuition. Moreover, the problem increases if any surprise test is there. Such a huge stress confuses all the students and eventually they end up studying nothing.”

Thereafter, he talked about what the schools pan India are doing to solve the problem of the students. Karia said, “One best practice that I have seen across the country is use of technology. Most of the schools are using technology in an excellent manner. I know about some schools which are doing flipped classroom pedagogy. They are telling the students in advance that tomorrow I am going to teach you certain topic, why don’t you read/watch that topic and come. So children know beforehand that this is going to happen.”

“Singhania School in Thane – which is one of the top ICSE schools of the country, has created an app for the students where teachers are giving recorded video lessons. So what happens is – students have learnt from the teacher, once they go home they don’t feel the need to go to tuitions. They open the app do the revision and their studies are done. So that’s what schools are doing,” he added.

“Another best practice is conferences like the one we are attending today. Schools must send their teachers here. There are certain wonderful discussions that happen in the panel. Believe me we have learnt a lot by just listening to some of the key industry speakers. This is one thing that I feel will help in changing the dynamics in the school,” Karia concluded.
