International curriculum at affordable price for Indian learners,’ says Sen Pidet

My vision is to expand access to high-quality international education in India, says Sen Pidet, Managing Director of SpringBoard4Education

San Pidet outlines why Indian schools are responding positively how WACE board is aligned with NEP 2020 and what support is being offered to partner schools.

Q. Why should Indian schools adopt Western Australian Curriculum?

San Pidet: Indian education landscape is undergoing a paradigm shift with National Education Policy 2020, which emphasizes competency-based learning, critical thinking, and integration of vocational education.

Western Australian Curriculum is perfectly aligned with these reforms. It focuses on preparing students for modern workplaces by nurturing creativity, collaboration, and problem-solving skills, while also instilling strong values. It is also recognized by Association of Indian Universities.

Q. How would Indian students benefit from studying Western Australian Curriculum?

San Pidet: Western Australian Curriculum equips students with creativity, adaptability, and global awareness, making them well-prepared for higher education both in India and abroad. Students holding WACE qualification enjoy a strong advantage in international university admissions and global employability.

I have been also told that School Curriculum and Standards Authority (SCSA) is working to integrate Indian language subjects, ensuring alignment with NEP 2020 and further tailoring program for Indian students.

Q. Are you the only provider of the Western Australian Curriculum in India? If not, why should schools partner with you?

San Pidet: School Curriculum and Standards Authority of Department of Education of Government of Western Australia authorizes the delivery of its curriculum worldwide. While a few associates in India have recently entered the field, many are still in their first academic cycle. We bring extensive global experience, having successfully delivered Western Australian Curriculum across multiple countries. This gives us edge over others to provide tested academic support, professional teacher training, and robust student mentoring.

Our competitive pricing model makes adoption easier for schools. What truly differentiates us, however, is our commitment to equity, including fully funded scholarships for outstanding Indian students to pursue their bachelor’s degrees in Western Australia. 

Q. How do you support Indian schools that decide to adopt the Western Australian Curriculum?

A: When a school decides to partner with us, we make sure they are fully supported at every step of the journey. We begin with a comprehensive orientation program for school leaders and teachers so that they clearly understand the philosophy and structure of the curriculum.
