Talking about her new role,  Zeenat Bandukwala, Chief Academic Officer BeyondSkool, said, “There is a lot that we can do for children in the education space, and curriculum and teachers are the only way to do it. In the near future, we will have a curriculum that caters to students of all grades. This can be a whole different space: when children are young they require exposure to different topics and spaces when they are older they begin to show aptitudes for different arenas and want to specialise. This is when depth starts playing a huge role.
