Director’s Message:
Dr. Syed Habeeb
CEO and Director at ISBC
The wake of the 21st century saw education not just as a system offering knowledge, skills and moral
values, but evolving into an expensive service-oriented industry. When we talk about modern
education, we refer to adapting technological advancements while conserving traditional
educational values.
With the disrupt created by the pandemic, education has never been more critical or more
uncertain. While on one side the pitfalls of the modern education system have been nakedly
exposed, on the other side the pandora of opportunities have seen explosive growth in a few
segments. When the storm settles post pandemic, what will our education system evolve into? Or
has it already evolved?
The story of ISBC is the story of such evolved pedagogy, pivotal decisions, embracing challenges, and
tremendous potential in the offline and online blended learning for over a decade. All this offered at
very affordable cost, keeping the focal point of empowering more students from across the world.
Quality education in a blended format is the buzz theme echoing the global education village. The
likes of Harvard and Oxford have flexed their ecosystem to adapt to online teaching and learning
while keeping their offline alive.
ISBC has a long history of empowering students and partners to be innovators in a constantly
changing world. And that is needed now more than ever. As much as the pandemic isolated people
at a global scale, eduvators have attempted to connect with each other and find opportunities in the
adversities with an openness to share ideas more than ever. The last 14 months may have brought
the world together and allowed the exchange of innovative ideas, best practices, failures and
victories like never before.
