Sujatha Gade has been in the education sector for close to three decades, and is sure about one thing: As a teacher, it is never about just helping a student graduate from one grade to another. It is also about shaping a child’s future by helping her build a career according to her aptitude, and make her an emotionally strong individual.
The principal of the Diamond Jubilee High School in Hyderabad—which is managed by the non-profit Aga Khan Education Services (AKES), India—leads a team of close to 55 people, out of which 42 are teachers and the rest are administrative and contractual staff. She has been occupying leadership positions in various international schools in Hyderabad over the years, and this is her seventh year working with AKES, India.
Born and raised in a village in Sathupalli in the Kahammam district of Telangana, Gade completed her master’s in mathematics from Osmania University in Hyderabad, following which she secured a master’s and a doctorate in psychology from Sri Venkateswara University.
MA Malik, director, Deccan College of Engineering & Technology, says Gade is “dedicated and hardworking", and is a team player who inspires confidence in the school management, staff and students.
