ITARI to become the Teachers Training Hub; Launches its New Campus in Bengaluru

Indus Training and Research Institute (ITARI) is the first training institute in India to offer Postgraduate level, professional teacher certification programs in International Education, 

exclusively customized to meet the requirements of International and progressive schools. The academic courses are offered by ITARI in association with reputed British Universities and Syndicates like the Cambridge International Examinations (CIE, UK), and the Birmingham City University UK, are recognized in several countries.

ITARI was established with a vision to enhance Teacher Capital by focusing on unlocking the intrinsic potential of teachers. Training at ITARI encourages self-directed learning, continuous professional development, whole-education and leadership. The current batch of PGDIE has a mix of students from varying backgrounds which include a film director, a foreign teacher and a school promoter.

Launched in the year 2009, and in a short span of 6 years, ITARI has registered 662 teachers across various academic programs and 75% of the graduates have been placed in premier international schools. Addressing the media Mrs. Sarojini Rao, Advisor, ITARI, said one of the reasons for the growth of international schools is the fact that they encourage creativity and free-thinking, both important characteristics for success in a globalized world. The growth of international schools (IB/IGCSE curriculum) has revived public interest in teaching as a career choice. ITARI seeks to fulfill this demand by facilitating development of a professional learning community through international education and leadership.

Expressing her views Pallavi Naomi Singh, another teacher who was trained by ITARI said “As an unsure fresher, looking for a job as a teacher at a good school, being selected through campus recruitment and getting accepted into ITARI was an absolute blessing for me and my family. The PGCIE training I received was transformational. The faculty at ITARI are not only experts but warm, inspiring individuals who have, in a short time, impacted my life and career positively’’. Pallavi was recruited as a teacher at Indus International School, Pune after completion of the Post Graduate course at ITARI.
