Repton Al Barsha, one of Dubai’s most innovative schools, has announced a partnership with StockGro, India’s leading stock market learning platform, to integrate financial literacy and investment skills into its curriculum.

The program is designed to equip students with valuable experiences that enable them to apply practical knowledge and critical thinking skills to real-world scenarios. It incorporates a variety of engaging activities, such as awareness campaigns, quiz-based competitions, and hands-on learning initiatives. These activities provide students with meaningful and practical insights into the realm of finance. Additionally, the program includes both inter-school and intra-school experiential preparation zones, which play a crucial role in bridging the gap between theoretical understanding and its practical application.
At the same time, Chandini Misra, principal at Repton Al Barsha, insists it’s not so much about equipping the student for a test paper as providing life skills, said, “At Repton Al Barsha we prepare students more for life than for a test paper. With stockgro.com, we offer real-world and academic learning blending real-world life skills with some financial acumen.”
This is one of the largest landmarks for StockGro in its expansion into Dubai and the larger UAE region, where thousands of students will be equipped with financial tools for success.
Ajay Lakhotia, founder, and CEO at StockGro said the partnership is a super opportunity that can help the company towards transformative education.
He said, “With great support for Repton Al Barsha’s leadership we are really looking forward to working together on this. We, at StockGro, believe in the enabling effect that practical education brings, and therefore, such collaboration equips our youth with tools to get along successfully financially; this is indeed a generation which is well-read academically, and financially strong.”
This collaboration highlights a shared vision between Repton Al Barsha and StockGro, aiming to foster not just academic success but, more importantly, the development of essential financial skills in today’s generation. These skills are crucial for navigating the complexities and challenges of the modern world. The joint effort seeks to equip students with the tools they need to combine academic achievements with practical knowledge, preparing them for the realities of life beyond school. This initiative is expected to benefit not only the institution but, most significantly, its students, as they gain an education that integrates scholastic excellence with critical life skills.
