“If you educate a man, you educate an individual but if you educate a woman, you educate a nation”
Women education & empowerment plays a crucial role in the overall development of a country. An educated woman has the skills, information and self-confidence that she needs to be a better parent, worker and a citizen. In the month of March, we celebrate Women’s Day and pay tribute to women in general and their contributions to society, the efforts women have put in towards helping countries, institutes and organizations, to achieve excellence, irrespective of the scenario around. Working as educators, activists and in turn forming a backbone for a more equitable world for women, our country has seen women coming from all walks of life, giving in their best to push the education system beyond the threshold. From individuals who have excelled as expert educationalists, some of them venturing into the field of entrepreneurship, over the period of 2020-21, the team of K12 Academic Insights, has put in explicit effort and prime focus on the personalities who are nothing less than stalwarts in the field of education and individuals who have led lives as prime examples, in the issue, namely “India’s 20 Pragmatic Women Leaders in K12 Education 2022” is an effort to show the world, the true Naari Shakti.
The list is curated based on various aspects like the current position they are holding, research publications put out, experience in multiple roles and across multiple domains of education, their educational backgrounds and their future goals in helping their institutions stand out. Remarkably, our Vice Principal, Ms Nowsheen Bashir, has been recognized and nominated as one of the 20 Pragmatic Women Leaders in K12 Education 2022. Redefining herself as an educator of tomorrow in this fast-paced and dynamic world, Ms Nowsheen Bashir puts her best step forward every day to bring in a positive change to the society and a healthy outlook to the education community. This is a proud moment for her as well as for the entire family of Doon School, Srinagar.
