About Geti
Global Education & Training Institute (GETI): Transforming Education, Empowering Educators.
India's leading institute for teachers and education leaders, powering change through PATH, Townhalls, and the Ed Leadership Roundtable.
Our Townhalls
GETI hosts PATH Townhalls where school leaders, teachers, and policymakers step inside a live PATH classroom experience. Instead of just hearing about change, they see and feel how children learn by doing, pick up ideas, talk them through, and build something new by themselves. Held online and offline across cities in India, Townhalls are the first step to reimagining education in action.

PATH (Purposeful, Active, Transformative Holistic Education) is a global movement that aims to transform education by placing children at the center of their learning. PATH is not a program you adopt - it’s a movement you join to make education faster, deeper, and joyful for every child.

Dear Education Leader
In this increasingly connected and spirited world, education requires a greater degree of deliberation. The change is both essential and crucial because the current system is anachronistic and is failing to address the needs of the digital age. After decades spent in dialogues, summits, conferences and more, there have been no successful efforts to achieve the much-needed transformation.
The economic, cultural and personal areas have undergone an enormous transformation over the past decades and are exceptionally radicalized over the past two years! A smidgen of progress has been made in philosophy, pedagogy and curriculum to meet the new objectives. Small changes at the margins of education are not a sufficient response to the crises. The varied endeavours contemplating disruption have failed to bring about any change so far. The need is for a disruptive education that guides to approach learning in another way. There has to be a call for action.
Be part of the change! Register now for Ed Leadership Roundtable 2025 a premier gathering of innovators, educators, and leaders shaping the future of learning and leadership.

Leading the crusade for Teacher Professional Development
Why Teacher Empowerment?
The ever-accelerating changes reshaping our economies and societies are major challenges for education systems and teachers. Modern teachers are expected to develop 21st century skills in students in increasingly diverse classrooms. As societies and technologies constantly evolve, teachers must innovate teaching methods and pedagogies and constantly update their knowledge and skills.
Constant changes, including abrupt transformational challenges similar to the COVID-19 pandemic are a likely scenario for the future of education. Therefore, teachers need to be empowered to keep up with these changes and to leverage these changes to innovate instructional methods and update their teaching skills.
Effective professional development is on-going, includes training, practice and feedback, and provides adequate time and follow-up support. Training programmes, especially at GETI - involve teachers in learning activities that are similar to ones they will use with their students, and encourage the development of teachers’ learning communities. There is growing interest in developing schools as learning organisations, and in ways for teachers to share their expertise and experience more systematically.
Why Training is Essential?
India needs 11,16,846 new teachers for the next three years if it’s to make up the shortfall and cater to new student enrolments.
Education system is at the threshold of a complete flip. This is the most opportune time to matter.
We help both individuals and organisations stay abreast of latest educational pedagogy to take on the needs of the modern world.
- to update individuals’ knowledge of a subject in light of recent advances in the area;
- to update individuals’ skills, attitudes and approaches in light of the development of new teaching techniques and objectives, new circumstances and new educational research;
- to enable individuals to apply changes made to curricula or other aspects of teaching practice;
- to enable schools to develop and apply new strategies concerning the curriculum and other aspects of teaching practice;
- to exchange information and expertise among teachers and others, e.g. academics, industrialists; and to help new teachers become more effective.
Testimonials
Shikha Verma
GETI pre service training 2019-2020
It was a lovely experience altogether. The best thing which I gained from my GETI Training is that I learned to put myself first, value my feelings my desires and have a say. I learnt innovative methods of teaching and helped me explore my creativity in order to make my lessons and projects more interesting and outstanding.
Manisha Mishra
GETI pre service training 2019-2020
I became more confident and outgoing. I learnt to do research, which helped me to inculcate a positive attitude in my life. I learnt about mindset, self-worth, self-concept which enhanced my overall personality. I want to thank GETI and Dr. Sunita Gandhi for helping me to be a person I am today.

It is an important platform for principals and policymakers as well as teachers to consult, share and come up with new ideas and innovations to create a new world for education in the 21st century. Congratulations to Dr. Gandhi and her team.
Global Dream Disruptive Literacy
There is a tremendous need for literacy. India has the world’s largest population of illiterates: according to UNESCO, 287 million adults in India are illiterate – 5 times more than the next most, China. While literacy rates are growing (from 64% to 74% between the 2001 and 2011 Censuses), the rate of improvement is disappointingly slow. This lack of literacy has major negative consequences economically, politically and socially; at all scales, from individual to national. We prove that most people are able to learn survival literacy in 2-3 months of daily 20-30 minute lessons using the Global Dream program. This is far quicker than alternative literacy programs.
Along with the statistics, we share a few stories of people who’ve learnt to read using the Global Dream materials, and the difference it has made in their lives.
If you share our conviction about the need to spread literacy, but are curious to learn more, take a look at the projects we’re involved in or check out some free sample materials. If you’re already convinced and want to get involved, please get in touch with us as we’d love to work with you!
