GEMS EducationFounder and Chairman Padmashri Sunny Varkey, Founder and C

The Founder and Chairman of GEMS Education, Mr. Sunny Varkey has guided the companysremarkable expansion. A visionary education entrepreneur, his formula for creating schools of

excellence includes an enterprising blend of high education standards, innovation andcustomer service.

Sunny Varkey believes passionately that all children have a right to a quality education. In hisongoing mission to effect qualitative change in society, his philanthropic commitments havehelped improve the lives of thousands.

Sunny Varkey believes that education is the most important issue in the world today because ofthe effect education can have in reducing conflict, prejudice, poverty and intolerance. He believeswe must lift education standards worldwide.

At the heart of the challenge is the inconvenient fact that there is a global shortage of goodschools. In the developing world, too often there are no schools at all. Sunny Varkey believes thatthe private sector can work with governments, powerfully, to invest in building more good schoolsand in turning round those that are weak. If the two sectors work together, he believes we canmove much more quickly to create schools that inspire children, schools which value scholarshipand develop character, schools which spare no effort in preparing young people for tertiaryeducation and a happy and prosperous life.

Sunny Varkey actively promotes the concept of multi-cultural understanding and WorldCitizenship as an integral part of the educational programme across the network of GEMS schools.
