The MasterClass series by LEAD is India’s first initiative to provide holistic learning to school children and an opportunity of learning from world-renowned experts, something that was never available for children from smaller towns & cities. The first MasterClass on creative writing was held with eminent author Chetan Bhagat while the second one was with Tennis ace Sania Mirza where she engaged with students on Fitness and Yoga.
LEAD Cofounder & CEO, Sumeet Mehta said, “The LEAD network brings unprecedented opportunities to its students that are otherwise unavailable to them. Keeping our mission to make excellent education accessible & affordable at the forefront, we conducted a Public Speaking MasterClass with cricket commentator Sunil Gavaskar. This initiative aims to
supplement what is being taught by teachers in the local schools. I am sure that these power-packed Masterclasses by Chetan Bhagat, Sania Mirza & Sunil Gavaskar will help our students in their all-around development.”
Little Master Sunil Gavaskar said, “Children fear to speak out in public and the pandemic has made the situation even worse as there is a lack of in-person communication. Building confidence and command over language are the most important things to be able to communicate effectively and engage with a larger audience. And this skill needs to be taught at every school, to every child right from a young age. I am happy that this unique initiative is empowering schools with the right kind of platforms to ensure the overall development of children.” Mrs. Apoorva Agarwal, a Lawyer and an Entrepreneur by profession and Director of the Gyanaya School, Bareilly will continue the Public Speaking sessions by taking three more classes for students. The upcoming sessions of the MasterClass series will focus on skilling students in Mental Maths, Personality Development, and Preparation for D Day including exams, important days in life with experts such as Capt. Raghu Raman, Ranjit Disable & Saina Nehwal respectively. About LEAD LEAD is India’s foremost player in the School EdTech category promoted by Leadership Boulevard.
