NRI educationist Nargish Khambatta among 10 finalists for Asia Education Medal
Educational Initiatives (Ei) – besides top achievers from Singapore, the Philippines,
Bangladesh, Pakistan, Japan and Malaysia.

The medal will be conferred in October to the winner for demonstrating impact,
leadership and advocacy in the field of education. The winner of the Asia Education

Medal will also be invited to attend the two-day World Schools Summit scheduled to be
held in Dubai on November 23 and 24 this year. The winner gets to nominate a school of
their choice to receive membership of T4 Education’s Best School to Work programme,
an independent, evidence-based mechanism to certify schools for their culture, and help
them transform their working environment to attract and retain the best teachers to
tackle learning gaps.

Khambatta’s GEMS Modern Academy was listed in the Top 10 for the World’s Best
School Prize for Innovation 2023. The school is known for introducing a number of
technological innovations into its curriculum such as the region’s first online report card
system, developed entirely by students and teachers. The Bring Your Own Device
(BYOD) programme was also launched by the school, where students upwards of Grade
2 carry their own learning devices.

Khambatta, who is the recipient of the GEMS Exceptional Head of School Award,
believes that every child should have ample opportunity to discover their self-worth,
interests and passion in a secure and happy environment, enabling them to grow into
confident young adults with a sound intellectual and moral compass that guides them to
their goals.

Mayank Dhingra, Senior Education Business Leader at HP, has congratulated
Khambatta, saying “her passion and dedication to transforming education will inspire
countless others to follow her footsteps in building a world where quality education is
