'''Global Indian International School (GIIS), Pune''', is a [[Maharastra]]-based international school established in 2011.<br />
<br />
== History ==<br />
<br />
In 2011, the school was founded in [[Chinchwad]]. Subsequently, it relocated to two separate campuses, namely [[Hadapsar]] in central Pune and [[Balewadi]].<ref>{{Cite web |date=2021-08-04 |title=GIIS Balewadi achieves 100% pass percentage in CBSE Class X result |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/global-indian-international-school-balewadi-cbse-class-10-result-7437432/ |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref> The previous campus is currently recognized as [[Elpro International School]]. During 2019, GIIS Pune commenced the implementation of SMART Campus facilities across its two campuses.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-07-17 |title=Singapore's GIIS to launch India's first smart school campus in Pune |url=https://www.financialexpress.com/jobs-career/education-singapores-giis-to-launch-indias-first-smart-school-campus-in-pune-1647210/ |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=Financialexpress |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Sinha |first=Apoorva |date=2021-10-10 |title=Pune: GII School sets up helpline for students |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/pune/pune-gii-school-helpline-students-7563934/ |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
== Controversies ==<br />
In 2018, the parents were compelled by the school management to purchase the Engineering for Kids (EFK) program, priced at ₹2,000, or else they would be denied textbooks altogether. As a result, parents staged a protest, and the mayor of Pimpri-Chinchwad had to intervene in the matter.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Desk |first=Punemirror |date=2018-04-09 |title=Mayor intervenes as school continues to make parents buy kits |url=https://punemirror.com/pune/civic/mayor-intervenes-as-school-continues-to-make-parents-buy/cid5135830.htm |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=punemirror.com |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
Earlier in the same year, the school faced another instance of protest when it made arbitrary decisions concerning fee payments. Parents were asked to pay an extra amount of ₹200 per day, including Sundays and holidays. Allegedly, the enrollment fee had been raised from 25 percent to 50 percent within a two-year period, as claimed by the parents.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Rs 200 per day: Parents protest against Pune school's late fee instructions |url=https://www.theweek.in/news/india/2018/04/10/rs-200-per-day-parents-protest-against-pune-school-late-fee-instructions.html |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=The Week |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
In August 2019, as a result of a shift in management, the school underwent a name change from GIIS Pune to Elpro International School. This decision sparked demonstrations by a group of 100 parents at the school gates, seeking clarification regarding the unexpected removal of the school's brand identity.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Khandge |first=Sukhada |date=2019-07-23 |title=Parents in uproar as Global Indian International School Chinchwad loses its prestigious affiliation |url=https://punemirror.com/pune/cover-story/parents-in-uproar-as-giis-chinchwad-loses-its-global/cid5089408.htm |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=punemirror.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |date=2019-07-23 |title=New management at GIIS, change in name irks parents |work=The Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/pune/new-management-at-giis-change-in-name-irks-parents/articleshow/70336717.cms |access-date=2023-12-03 |issn=0971-8257}}</ref> During that period, the Pimpri-Chinchwad Municipal Corporation administration sought clarification by issuing an official notice to the GIIS management, and they also requested documentation regarding the change of name.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Reporter |date=2019-08-02 |title=PCMC issues notice to Global Indian International School (GIIS), Chinchwad |url=https://www.punekarnews.in/pcmc-issues-notice-to-global-indian-international-school-giis-chinchwad/ |access-date=2023-12-03 |website=Punekar News |language=en-US}}</ref><br />
