Lucknow, India | November 26–29, 2025
City Montessori School, Lucknow, is set to host the 16th Ed Leadership International Roundtable — India’s largest and most influential education leadership conference. This year’s event marks a transformative moment in the way we think about learning, teaching, and the future of education. With a bold new theme centered around the ALfA PATH model, the conference promises to be a global learning lab where innovation meets impact.
A New Vision for Learning: The ALfA PATH Model
At the heart of Ed Leadership 2025 is the ALfA PATH Model, a revolutionary approach to teaching and learning that’s changing classrooms across India. Developed over 2 Decades of research, ALfA (Accelerating Learning for All) enables children to learn three times faster than traditional methods — and with far greater joy and confidence.
Children using ALfA learn to read in both English and their mother tongue, grasp second-grade math concepts, and complete year-long curricula in half the time — all without pressure or rote memorization. The model is currently implemented in over 10,000 schools, with Memorandums of Understanding signed with 35,000 more. Harvard-certified results show that ALfA significantly boosts creativity, collaboration, critical thinking, and confidence in students, while making teaching more effective and enjoyable for educators.
The PATH Movement: Purposeful, Active, Transformative, Holistic
Launched in September 2025, the PATH Movement is a nationwide initiative to reimagine education. PATH stands for:
- Purposeful – Learning that is meaningful and relevant
- Active – Engaging students through participation and discovery
- Transformative – Fostering deep understanding and personal growth
- Holistic – Nurturing the mind, body, and spirit
This movement is not just a program — it’s a philosophy that places the child at the center of the learning experience. It aligns closely with India’s National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and aims to make education joyful, inclusive, and future-ready.
Dr. Sunita Gandhi: The Visionary Behind the Movement
Leading this transformation is Dr. Sunita Gandhi, founder of the ALfA and PATH initiatives and the Global Education & Training Institute (GETI). With experience studying education systems in over 50 countries, Dr. Gandhi has dedicated her life to making learning more inclusive, impactful, and joyful.
Her philosophy is simple yet powerful:
“Every child can learn — if we change the way we teach.”
Under her leadership, thousands of schools and educators have embraced the ALfA PATH model, making India a global hub for educational innovation.
Rajnath Singh’s Endorsement: “Education Must Be PATH”
Adding national momentum to the movement, India’s Defence Minister and former Education Minister of Uttar Pradesh, Shri Rajnath Singh, delivered a compelling video address in support of the PATH Movement. In his speech, he emphasized the urgent need for a fundamental shift in education, aligned with the vision of NEP 2020.
He outlined the PATH framework and stressed the importance of building 4C skills in students:
- Collaboration
- Communication
- Critical Thinking
- Creativity
His endorsement reinforces the relevance and urgency of transforming education to meet the demands of the 21st century.
More Than a Conference — A Global Learning Lab
Ed Leadership 2025 is not just a conference — it’s a hands-on experience. Attendees will witness live ALfA classrooms, participate in interactive townhalls and D-Talks, and explore scalable teacher training models. The event also features initiatives like Global Dream, a breakthrough in adult literacy that enables reading in just 2–3 months.
Whether you’re a teacher, principal, policymaker, or changemaker, Ed Leadership 2025 offers a unique opportunity to engage with cutting-edge educational practices and be part of a movement that’s shaping the future of learning.
Join the Movement. Be the Change.
Ed Leadership 2025 invites educators, leaders, and visionaries to come together and co-create the future of education. With the ALfA PATH model leading the way, this event is a celebration of possibility, purpose, and progress.
