A short presentation on Montessori education, as prevalent in India, and the domain that IMF intends to occupy IMF

A PRESENTATION

 “ Montessori Education” is at very the bottom of the pyramid – which helps in creating a solid foundation for children who are sufficiently exposed to the desired system of learning.

 The Montessori segment is fractured – thanks to the diverse range of players that exist today. Indeed, the system is followed and practised in many countries around the world. This has resulted in great diversity among Montessori practitioners.

A PRESENTATION

 A large number of schools follow the Montessori method in India. Parents want it – many of them are convinced that Dr Maria Montessori’s teachings would be useful and beneficial for their children.

 There is, thus, great demand for institutions that impart this system of education. This demand is reflected in views expressed almost universally by the parents’ fraternity.

 A preview of demand  In keeping with the demand for Montessori institutions, the requirement for trained personnel is also on the rise. Therefore, creation of a copious pool of Montessori teachers is the need of the hour.

 India, one of the world’s most populated nations, has lately witnessed a tremendous rise in the number of schools. The country needs a huge cadre of trained professionals to teach in these schools – indeed, this need will only advance in the days ahead.

A PRESENTATION

 Where does IMF fit in such a scenario?

The answer is simple:

IMF wishes to contribute significantly in terms of training and education

. The idea is to train individual students who plan to establish their careers as teachers.

Further, IMF aims at supporting the meritorious candidates’ efforts at securing placements, provided they are able to demonstrate adequate levels of

commitment

and

efficiency.

IMF

A PRESENTATION What is our strategy?

Take the help of business partners. They are entrepreneurs who come with their own resources (

premises, infrastructure, capital

) – either owned or rented/leased.

Establish our own centres, led by the home centre in Kolkata.

We are seeking to build a network of dynamic and passionate entrepreneurs who would drive the business forward. In turn, they would be offered comprehensive services (such as training and branding) from the central office in Kolkata. The ideal business partner need not be an educator – we do not necessarily require an experienced professional – not even one with a large computer centre or an established tuition class!
