As the NEP lays down, with the global ecosystem it is becoming increasingly critical that children not only learn, but more importantly learn how to learn. Education must move towards less content, and more towards learning about how to think critically and solve problems, how to be creative and multidisciplinary. This is core to what Wellington is set to achieve.We are very aware and mindful of the respect for diversity and respect for the local context in all curriculum and pedagogy.After serving in Hong Kong, Bangkok and Tokyo, I am delighted to be part of the Pune community and enjoying the hospitality and vibrancy that the city offers."This will be the first school of its kind in Pune. Anuj Aggarwal, Co-founder Wellington College International India and Co-Founder Unison Group, led the vision to bring a Wellington Education to India. As he commented:"When we looked to partner with Wellington there was a lot of synergy between what Wellington College UK was offering and what we as an Indian partner were looking to establish. For our first school in India, Pune was a natural choice for the fact that a lot of impetus is given to good education by the people of the city, it is dynamic and forward facing. We are fully committed to provide the best of the global education and Wellington experience to Punekars."Parents were able to take a tour of the campus and view the upcoming academic, sports, music, performance, science and technology areas, including the pioneering Harkness Room and Learning Villages.A parent, who has registered her daughter, said, ''We attended the Wellington College International School's - Getting to Know You session. The HODs are highly experienced with exposure to international standards of education. The school curriculum is second to none. I am happy to see WCI Pune integrate compassion into their teaching standards and emphasise the importance of values.
