What happened
The international education market in India is expanding, with Cambridge International Education recording over 40,000 entries from India in its June 2026 examination series, an 11% increase from the previous year. Entries for Cambridge International AS & A Level qualifications in India rose by 15%. Concurrently, the International Baccalaureate has seen growth, with India registering 269 IB World Schools.
Why it matters
The increasing demand for global curricula from International Baccalaureate and Cambridge Assessment International Education is fueling a significant boom in the Indian education sector. However, this expansion is colliding with a classroom crisis, as institutions struggle to recruit and retain educators qualified to teach these global programs.
