Burlington English, a global leader in personalized English language teaching and learning solutions, has launched the 100ED Fest 2024, a 100-day celebration of education that will span 100 cities in India and South Asia, reaching over 100,000 educators in the region. As part of their commitment to empowering India’s youth with the skills necessary for global success, Burlington English is also actively collaborating with the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC) to provide targeted English language training for candidates aspiring to work abroad across various sectors.
The festival began in Lucknow and extended its reach across major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Bengaluru, and Chennai, as well as emerging centers such as Guwahati, Indore, and Srinagar, and smaller towns like Aligarh and Karnal. By showcasing state-of-the-art classroom resources and revealing innovative teaching techniques, the 100ED Fest is designed to ignite a nationwide passion for learning, strengthening Burlington English’s connections within the educational community, and reinforcing its mission as “The Publisher That Cares.”
Recognizing the critical role of educators in fostering student success, Burlington English has consistently empowered teachers through extensive training programs, laying the groundwork for a community of forward-thinking educators. The 100ED Fest 2024 builds on this legacy, aiming to equip educators across India and South Asia with innovative classroom techniques that align with the goals of NEP 2020. This initiative is not only about improving classroom outcomes but also about supporting the government’s broader agenda of skilling Indian youth, ensuring they are prepared for global opportunities. By fostering English proficiency and other critical soft skills, Burlington English aims to ensure that every student, regardless of geography, has the tools needed for success on the global stage.
Mr. Amit Baveja, Managing Director of Burlington English India & Southeast Asia, shares, “The launch of the 100ED Fest 2024 is a landmark initiative for Burlington English. As ‘The Publisher That Cares,’ we’re committed to transforming education by reaching educators in both metro and smaller cities across India. Just as a festival unites people in celebration, our fest aims to build a community of educators who share a passion for innovative teaching and a common vision for the future of education. The 100ED Fest is about more than just training – it’s about empowering educators with the tools and passion to inspire the next generation.
Our initiative supports the government’s vision for skilling by enhancing educators’ capabilities nationwide. Through the 100ED Fest, we aim to cultivate a dynamic and effective learning environment in classrooms, ensuring that every student across geographies has access to quality education. Our theme, ‘We See Tomorrow,’ encompasses our shared vision of a brighter future for learners.”
