Award Winner Interview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Category<\/strong>: Dynamic School Awards<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Rekha Rao, Principal of Oxford Grammar High School, Himayathnagar, Hyderabad, highlighted the importance of combining academic excellence with creative and experiential learning during her interaction at the South India Educators\u2019 Summit & Dynamic School Awards 2026<\/a>, organised by EducationNewsNetwork<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Leading a 46-year-old institution, she described the school\u2019s approach as a balance between STEM education, arts, culture and innovative learning experiences such as puppetry. The school also offers student engagement opportunities through Model United Nations activities, TEDx simulations, Shark Tank-style exercises and the National Cadet Corps (NCC). She noted that the school\u2019s puppetry initiatives had received appreciation from representatives of UNESCO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ms. Rao also praised the summit for bringing together established legacy institutions and emerging schools from across South India, creating opportunities for meaningful interaction and the exchange of ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are a blend and balance of STEM, that is science, technology, engineering and mathematics. At the same time, we are into art, culture, and something great which most of the schools don’t have; it is about puppetry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her perspective highlights how integrating science, creativity, and cultural learning can broaden students\u2019 experiences and encourage them to develop diverse skills beyond conventional classroom instruction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
