Dr. Revathi Srinivasan, Director and Dean, Singhania Group of Schools, and Principal of Smt. Sulochanadevi Singhania School, moderated the panel discussion, Education Leadership, Student Wellbeing and the Changing Needs of Schools, at Maharashtra Educators’ Summit & Awards, 2026. The session examined the challenges facing schools as they respond to evolving parent expectations, changing student needs and the growing demand for high-quality education.
The discussion considered the relationship between educational quality, affordability, infrastructure, technology and the people who make learning possible. As highlighted in EducationToday coverage of the education sector, balancing these priorities remains central to ensuring that schools provide meaningful educational experiences while managing the costs associated with staffing, facilities and contemporary learning programmes.
As Director and Dean of the Singhania Group of Schools and Principal of Smt. Sulochanadevi Singhania School, Dr. Srinivasan’s leadership roles span school administration and academic direction. Her role as moderator brought these wider institutional considerations into a conversation about the future priorities of schools.
The panel addressed the expectations parents may have for modern education, including improved infrastructure, international exposure and technology-supported learning. At the same time, it raised an important question: how can schools maintain quality and make education accessible without compromising teacher salaries, professional standards or the student experience?
The discussion also examined the importance of defining educational value beyond physical facilities. Strong learning outcomes, student well-being, responsible citizenship and the development of confident individuals were among the wider considerations raised during the conversation.
By bringing these issues together, the session encouraged education leaders to look beyond short-term operational decisions and consider how their institutions can remain effective, responsive and sustainable. It highlighted the importance of leadership that balances educational ambition with the practical realities of running a school.
