UAE’s Nargish Khambatta named Finalist for inaugural Asia Education Medal | iHeartEmirates

Altogether, this has led to an entrepreneurial mindset that the school fosters. Starting in primary
school with Unit of Inquiry projectsand moving on to Challenge-Based Learning in middle

school and the school’s Prism Project and Entrepreneurship and Innovation Programme in

senior school, GEMS Modern Academy provides what it calls a scaffolded strategy for
developing critical thinking, problem-solving, design thinking and a growth mindset.

Khambatta’s outstanding leadership led her to receive the first-ever GEMS Exceptional Head of
School Award in 2018.

Her philosophy is that all children should be given ample opportunity to discover their self-
worth, interests and passion in a secure and happy environment, which helps them grow into

confident young adults with a sound intellectual and moral compass to guide them to their

goals.

Mayank Dhingra, Senior Education Business Leader at HP, said:“Congratulations to the

UAE’s Nargish Khambatta on being named Finalist for the Asia Education Medal 2024. Her

passion and dedication to transforming education will inspire countless others to follow in her
footsteps in building a world where quality education is enjoyed by all.

“HP has a bold goal to accelerate digital equity for 150 million people globally by 2030. Only by

joining forces and aligning with NGOs, government, educators and businesses can we truly

improve the education environment. The Asia Education Medal brings together all those who

are changing the face of Asian education, whose work we must all learn from if the world is to
meet the Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.” he added.

Vikas Pota, Founder and CEO of T4 Education, said:“The Asia Education Medal honours

changemakers where change is needed most. Where learning gaps remain stubbornly

persistent and where deep inequalities remain.
