Global Education & Training Institute

What Global Education & Training Institute does

Global Education & Training Institute (GETI) is a privately held, India-based educational organization headquartered in Lucknow and led by founder Dr. Sunita Gandhi. It operates an integrated teacher professional development and curriculum-transformation platform built around two proprietary constructs: the PATH (Purposeful, Active, Transformative, Holistic) education framework, and the ALfA (Accelerating Learning for All) pedagogy — a reverse, peer-led paired-learning methodology in which children learn foundational literacy and numeracy in roughly 45 days, reportedly 10x faster than traditional methods. Supporting technology includes the hub.hiPATH.app curriculum platform, the ALfA FLN toolkit available in 33 languages, the newly launched Hindi Literacy Chatbot (NLP-based), and the CAR (Classroom Assessment and Reflection) classroom analytics tool. Revenue is generated through a mix of professional development services (teacher training, certification programs, school partnerships), event registration from the annual Ed Leadership International Roundtable (India's largest education leadership gathering, now in its 18th year) and PATH Townhalls, unit-priced books published via Bloomsbury, and PATH Trainer Accreditation across Copper/Bronze/Silver/Gold tiers. The customer base spans K-12 government schools (notably 17,000 schools across Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh), private and elite schools (anchored by City Montessori School, Lucknow), individual teachers, NGOs, and government ministries in 8 countries including Maldives, Nepal, Ghana, Peru, and Guinea.
