 There is a silent revolution that has been taking place in the early education world in India in the past few years. Parents, particularly millennials and Gen Z, are starting to pose more fundamental questions toward the type of learning environment that their offsprings are developing in.

This parental shift presents a challenge as well as an opportunity to the school leaders and administrators.
