Pune ZP school makes it to global top-10 list
Pune: A zilla parishad school — at Jalindernagar in Khed taluka of Pune district — has earned global recognition by getting shortlisted in the top-10 schools worldwide for the prestigious "World's Best School Prize" competition.
The school was recognized by T4 Education, an international organization that highlights innovative and impactful schools globally. Competing in the "Community Collaboration" category, the school is now preparing for the final stage. Headmaster Dattaray Ware on Wednesday said the winner will be decided through public voting, with a top prize of Rs1 crore.
This achievement is particularly noteworthy as the school, once facing closure owing to low enrolment, transformed itself through robust community participation and collective efforts.
It stands as the sole Indian school, and notably a govt-run Marathi medium institution, to be selected among thousands of schools internationally.
Speaking at a press conference, Ware expressed pride and gratitude. "This achievement was never about winning a prize. Our aim was to prove that govt schools can provide world-class education when the community works together," he said.

"This recognition has boosted the confidence of teachers in the govt school system. We now need public support to help our school win the top position globally," Ware added. Students, teachers, and villagers celebrated with joy at the school campus after they came to know about the announcement made during a global live event earlier in the day.
