ACHIEVEMENTS
  • Altrincham Grammar School has managers for school
    administration. This system was adopted by
    Apeejay School, Pitampura. We called it
    Executive Council and it is working
    effectively.
  • Apeejay Cluster also learnt to educate children
    coming from muti-cultural and muti-ethnic
    backgrounds.

THE IMPACT
  • The students and the staff had British Societys
    image formed after watching films / movies /
    visit as tourists. The UKIERI programme helped in
    changing that image.
  • It also helped in understanding people of
    different cultures.
  • It helped in making healthier attitude towards
    people of other countries and realizing that all
    of us are different but no one is inferior or
    superior.
