In a proud and defining moment for Indian education, Abin C Raj, a globally acclaimed academic strategist and education reformer, will represent Indian schools at the World School Summit 2025, hosted at the BITS Pilani Dubai Campus. The prestigious global education forum brings together top school leaders, policymakers, and curriculum experts to shape the future of learning.
Abin will be part of an international panel where he will introduce a revolutionary educational framework designed specifically for slow learners and academic bloomers—students who show delayed yet remarkable intellectual and emotional growth when given the right support.
Formerly the Head of Academic Heights Public School and Principal of Maharshi Public School, Abin is currently the Academic Director of SKDMS Residential Center School and National Vice President of the World Human Rights Protection Commission (WHRPC). His presence at the summit is not just as an individual thought leader, but as a representative of India’s inclusive academic vision.
“We don’t fail children. We fail to understand them. The time has come to change that,” affirms Abin.
Revolutionizing Learning for Every Child
At the heart of Abin’s educational philosophy is a deep belief in inclusive, need-sensitive pedagogy. His system blends global instructional design with Indian classroom realities, ensuring both accessibility and scalability.
The model focuses on:
- Layered Instructional Design: Breaking down complex topics into simplified tiers
- Behavioral Scaffolding: Providing emotional and psychological support within academics
- Personalized Learning Plans (PLPs): Crafting custom academic pathways for each student
- Teacher-Parent Collaboration: Aligning efforts at school and home for unified student support
“Every child is capable. What they need is the right time, right method, and right mentor,” says Abin.
A Comprehensive Model for Slow Learners and Bloomers
Abin’s system presents a four-pillar development plan to uplift learners who often fall outside the conventional academic mold.
1. Academic Interventions
- Remedial Hours as part of the daily timetable
- Multisensory Teaching Aids: Visual, auditory, and kinesthetic tools
- Micro-Assessment Cycles for regular feedback, replacing high-stress term-end exams
2. Teacher Empowerment

- Differentiated Instruction techniques for diverse classrooms
- Emotional Readiness Tools to assess non-academic factors affecting performance
3. Parent Collaboration

- Weekly Progress Summaries for continuous parent involvement
- Behavior Mapping and fortnightly parent-teacher meetings to track progress
4. Holistic Development
- Mindfulness, Art Therapy, Storytelling to enhance emotional balance and focus
- Life Skills, Resilience & Empathy integrated into curriculum
- Celebration of Individual Growth, shifting the narrative from competition to personal excellence
