- Focus on models like charter schools, international schools, and hybrid learning institutions.
Building School Infrastructure
- Developing smart, sustainable school facilities equipped with renewable energy systems, smart classrooms, and safe recreational spaces.
- Prioritizing eco-friendly designs and modular construction techniques to reduce costs and environmental impact.
Teacher Training & Professional Development
