What is the demand for Montessori teachers?
Demand for Montessori teachers is driven by growth in private preschools and parents' interest in hands-on, activity-based learning. In India, NEP 2020's focus on early childhood has added momentum; in the Gulf and Africa, private nurseries and Montessori schools regularly advertise. Demand is highest for trained teachers with experience and good English.
