A school's main purpose should be to educate all student members. The school has a fine superstructure - this is a facade. Moving through the school you will see buildings in need of repair, a dining hall which is home to flies, birds and bugs, and the awful prison-like boarding blocks which suffer the same infestations as the dining hall
In Indus many students are left behind. Promises of special education needs and second language teachers and support staff are made at the admission stage, but once the fees are paid your child is left to fend for him/herself in classrooms which are overcrowded and ill-equipped.
Teachers are continuously leaving the school because of poor administration, lack of support and additional work loads. In the past 2 years this school has lost 2 principals, a head of school, several coordinators, expat specialist teachers and a considerable number of local teachers - many key administrators have also left. Staff retention is extremely poor and the students are the ones who suffer.
Indus in Hyderabad represents everything that is wrong with education: taking the fees first and worrying about the students later.
