THE charitable trust of the Kothari group (known for the brand Pan Parag), SM Kothari Charitable trust, announced on Saturday that it planned to open 12 schools across the country in the next few years, with a total investment of Rs 200 crore.

The first one will be a day school at Noida, Delhi-NCR.

Named Kothari International School, it will have grades from nursery to class XII and be managed by Global Education Management Systems, a Dubai-based organisation offering education services. Slated to open in April next year, the school will follow the Central Board of Secondary Education curriculum.

"Parents are looking for education options that provide opportunities for children to develop all areas of potential. We are responding to this need," said Mr Deepak Kothari, Chairman, Kothari International School. The school proposes to keep the teacher-student ratio of 1:12, with the number of students not exceeding 24 per section in each grade.
