How a state turns this into posts is up to the state.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"what-official-rules-require-and-where-they-stop\">What official rules require, and where they stop<\/h2>\n<p>For school posts, two sets of official documents cover most cases. For company and NGO posts, the employer sets the qualification.<\/p>\n<p><strong>CBSE-affiliated schools.<\/strong> Clause 5.1 of the CBSE Affiliation Bye-Laws, 2018 says that the minimum qualifications for teaching staff, \u201cincluding the Principal\/ Vice-Principal\/ Head of school\u201d, follow the NCTE regulations, the recruitment rules of the appropriate government or of KVS\/NVS, and, for subjects introduced by CBSE, Appendix VII.

CBSE\u2019s list of a head of school\u2019s duties (clause 9.2 of the Affiliation Bye-Laws) reads like a general manager\u2019s job, which makes it a useful checklist.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"njg-check\">\n<li><strong>Governance:<\/strong> the principal is ex-officio member secretary of the School Management Committee (9.2.1).

Whatever sector you apply to, a list of what you have studied and changed in the last two years is stronger evidence than a list of titles.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>What does not carry over easily: an edtech city head is judged on monthly revenue; a school head is judged by parents and teachers on things no dashboard shows.

NIJIN describes it as one of the largest alternative schools in Japan.<\/p>\n<div class=\"njg-stats\">\n<div class=\"njg-stat\"><strong>1,000+<\/strong><span>children enrolled since September 2023 (cumulative)<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"njg-stat\"><strong>97%<\/strong><span>attendance recognition among families who applied<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"njg-stat\"><strong>52<\/strong><span>physical classrooms across Japan<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"njg-stat\"><strong>About 100<\/strong><span>live online classes a month<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"njg-note\">Figures are those published by NIJIN. \u201cAttendance recognition\u201d means the school a child is registered at counts learning at NIJIN Academy as school attendance.<\/p>\n<p>The Country Head of NIJIN Academy India holds two jobs usually split between two people: business head (families, team, revenue) and principal (what children experience, whether the place is safe). Deciding which children to serve first, in which language and format, is the first real piece of work. It is not a franchise: you do not pay to copy a format.<\/p>\n<div class=\"njg-tablewrap\">\n<table>\n<thead><tr><th>Revenue (excluding tax)<\/th><th>Country Head\u2019s compensation (10%, as a guideline)<\/th><\/tr><\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>JPY 100 million<\/td><td>JPY 10 million<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>JPY 200 million<\/td><td>JPY 20 million<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>JPY 500 million or more<\/td><td>JPY 50 million (cap)<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>No revenue<\/td><td>None under this formula<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<p class=\"njg-note\">The rows show how the formula works.

Investment is optional: if you choose to co-own a local company, the guide is JPY 1 to 2 million from you and JPY 4 to 8 million from NIJIN, decided together. Every other term is discussed in the interview.<\/p>\n\n<h2 id=\"questions-and-answers\">Questions and answers<\/h2>\n<div class=\"njg-faq\">\n<h3>What qualifications do I need for school leadership jobs in India?<\/h3>\n<p>For the head, principal or vice principal of a CBSE-affiliated school, clause 5.1 of the CBSE Affiliation Bye-Laws points to NCTE regulations and the applicable recruitment rules. For KVS and NVS, each notification states them (in 2025, a master\u2019s degree with at least 50% marks and a B.Ed.). Companies and NGOs set their own.<\/p>\n<h3>Can I get an education leadership job without a B.Ed. or teaching experience?<\/h3>\n<p>For school head posts governed by CBSE or KVS\/NVS rules, check the rule that applies, as these posts carry teaching-related requirements. Many group, company and NGO leadership roles weigh management experience more heavily. NIJIN does not require teaching experience for the NIJIN Academy India Country Head.<\/p>\n<h3>Are there remote education leadership jobs in India?<\/h3>\n<p>Some company and NGO roles are hybrid or remote; that is set by each employer. Most school head posts require you on campus, because the duties in CBSE\u2019s clause 9.2, from admissions to buildings, are on-site work.<\/p>\n<h3>What does a country director or country manager in education do?<\/h3>\n<p>They lead an organisation\u2019s whole operation in one country: choosing where to start, building the legal and financial base, hiring the team and owning the numbers. Our guide to <a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/education-country-manager-compensation\/\">country manager roles in education<\/a> explains the role and the common pay models.<\/p>\n<h3>Is the NIJIN Academy India Country Head a job or a business?<\/h3>\n<p>Both. You lead a school as its business head and principal, with 10% of revenue as a guideline (cap JPY 50 million). Investment is optional: start on a service contract or as a co-owner. Other terms are discussed in the interview.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"njg-cta\">\n<h2 id=\"lead-a-school-in-india-as-its-business-head-and-principal\">Lead a school in India as its business head and principal<\/h2>\n<p>If you have led and hired people and want to build a school for children who do not fit school, read the role and apply.<\/p>\n<a class=\"njg-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/nijin-academy-india-country-head\/\">See the Country Head role in India<\/a>\n<\/div>\n<h2 id=\"where-to-go-next\">Where to go next<\/h2>\n<p>Country Head pages are open for several countries, and the global page covers every other country.<\/p>\n<ul class=\"njg-links\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/nijin-academy-india-country-head\/\">India<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/nijin-academy-country-head\/\">Country Head (global)<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/nijin-academy-philippines-country-head\/\">Philippines<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/nijin-academy-uk-country-head\/\">United Kingdom<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/nijin-academy-us-country-head\/\">United States<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/en\/\">NIJIN careers in English<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Related guides for education leaders<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/school-principal-jobs-in-india\/\">School principal jobs in India: where to look and what to ask<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/how-to-become-a-school-principal-in-india\/\">How to become a school principal in India<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/education-country-manager-compensation\/\">Country manager in education: the role and three pay models<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/how-to-run-a-school-in-india\/\">How to run a school in India<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/how-to-start-a-school-in-india\/\">How to start a school in India<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/nijin.co.jp\/recruit\/education-business-ideas-in-india\/\">Education business ideas in India<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"sources\">Sources<\/h2>\n<p class=\"njg-note\">Official figures are quoted with their date.
