We are honored to partner with Goenka Global Education in the Indian education field already in two locations. The first Finland International School in India was established in Pune 2022 and now we are delighted to start a school transformation project here in Thane.
The primary task of a school is to prepare young people for life and future regardless of they hold. The knowledge of traditional subject-related content is no longer sufficient. Life is in constant change and people must be able to adapt. At Finland International School (FIS) Thane, learning life skills together with the academics is at the heart of our innovative pedagogy. The Principals and mentor teachers from Finland will support local teachers to implement the progressive Finnish methods in their teaching – assuring our students can reach their full potential, now and in the future.
Shashank Goenka Managing Director - Goenka Inc., a Bachelor’s in Science with a specialization in Industrial Management from Purdue University - USA.
Hailing from a business background and equipped with an entrepreneurial spirit, he chose to lend his business acumen to something noble.
Having experienced the education curriculum in India as a student, and closely observing the system thereafter, he saw the gaps that needed to be bridged for education to be more holistic in India.
Moreover, his exposure to the global landscape urged him to take a step to set up an institution that emphasizes the students’ ability to learn, holistically imbibe knowledge and apply the same in every walk of life. His vision has been to enable students to push the boundaries of possibility so that with their learning they can fulfill their intellectual and social potential in the future. With this focus, the Goenka Global Education has been set up and prides itself on a progressive educational approach to learning and teaching.
