MENTOR Magazine is India's most respected print magazine focused on School Leadership, Principals and Educators. From the past 5 years, MENTOR has been a forum where Educators work together to reinstate their position and change the system

The Indian Education space has hardly any platforms or forums for educationists and educational researchers to share their learning and experiences with the Edutopia

MENTOR felt a strong need to create a platform for Educators, Innovators and Researchers to get together and work towards enhancing their skills and knowledge which led to the genesis of MENTOR CONCLAVE

MENTOR Magazine organised its first conclave, titled Excellence in School Education in November 2011

This year, MENTOR Magazine is bringing forth the MENTOR CONCLAVE 2012 – Enabling Excellence in School Education

The MENTOR CONCLAVE 2012 aims to provide a multinational platform, where educators, practitioners and researchers across the globe can come together and share with their fellow-mates experiences, innovations and the latest trends in education, with an aim to learn from each other
