Anglo Schools International Services (ASIS) - a new federation of British Boarding Schools, is organizing a “Meet the Principal” Lecture Tour in eight major cities within the country from January 20th – February 5th, 2014. The tour is to educate people about ASIS and the UK education system, highlighting how a new approach to schooling is needed if young Indians are to prosper on the world stage.
The theme for the lecture tour is ‘Creating Schools of Warm-Heartedness – the 21st Century Vision for Education’. Mr. David Boddy, ASIS Principal, is one of the UK’s leading speakers on educational futures. He will argue that with 7 out of 10 future jobs for today’s youngsters not yet invented, a new vision for educating tomorrow’s leaders is going to be needed. This involves developing social and emotional intelligence skills, not just academic ones.
This will be the first time that there is one such platform where parents and students can directly address the Foreign Educationist and have their questions clarified. Mr. David will explain to parents how changes in the international job market are forcing changes to the educational curriculum, teaching methodologies and approaches to university applications.
The Tour starts with his first Lecture in New Delhi on January 20th, 2013 at The Park, Parliament Street, New Delhi.

For the first time, ASIS is giving an opportunity to the young people of India to secure a place at a world class secondary school in Britain. The Schools have put up more than 7 Crore Rupees in scholarships and other financial help to attract Indian pupils who are bright, personable and determined to succeed in life. Entrance exams for the schools start in India in February at Pearson Vue test centres and registrations are now being taken via the ASIS website www.angloschools.co.uk
Mr. David Boddy, Principal Partner, ASIS, says: “Indian youngsters have so much to offer the world economy and yet too many of them are not making it throu
gh to the best universities. British schools, already world leaders, are at the forefront of some revolutionary changes to the way youngsters are prepared for university life. I hope to explain this and offer, through ASIS, an unrivalled opportunity for children from India to take advantage of these changes.
He further added, “It is a huge commitment to send your child to school in England and I want to reassure parents that the ASIS Federation of Schools stand out for their pastoral care, as well as their academic excellence”.
