India School Market Trends:

The growing awareness regarding the importance of education in India is creating a positive outlook for the market. In line with this, the increasing youth population and the shifting inclination toward developing a pool of skilled human resources are favoring the market growth. Furthermore, rising initiatives by the Government of India (GOI), such as the New Education Policy (NEP) that aims to make schooling available to everyone, promote new admissions, and reform existing education structures for the holistic development of children, are providing a considerable boost to the market growth. Moreover, the implementation of various initiatives to promote girl child education by establishing new schools and girl hostels through ‘Beti Bachao Beti Padhao Abhiyan’ and ‘Kasturba Gandhi Balika Vidyalaya (KGBV)’ and bridge the gender and social gaps at all levels of school education, is positively influencing the market growth. Additionally, the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) in schools to automate personalized adaptive learning, increase language affinity learning ability, and improve learning pace is providing an impetus to the market growth. Other factors, including increasing literacy rate, rising investments by private organizations, and widespread adoption of technologically advanced teaching methods, such as smart classes and digital libraries, are anticipated to drive the market growth.
