Prabhav Anand is a Senior Correspondent at Education Post, with more than four years of experience in journalism, specialising in education and the changing landscape of learning in India. His reporting examines education not only through policies, official announcements and institutional decisions, but also through the experiences of students, teachers, educators and institutions on the ground.
Experience & Focus Areas:
Prabhav’s journalism focuses on understanding the gap between what an education reform promises and how it actually affects those navigating the system. His work spans a wide range of issues across India’s education landscape, including:
•Higher Education: Reporting on universities, institutions, academic reforms, accreditation, research and the evolving higher education ecosystem.
•School Education: Covering developments in school education, teachers, classrooms, learning outcomes and reforms affecting students and educators.
•Education Policy: Examining government policies, regulatory changes and reforms, with a focus on their implementation and impact on the ground.
• Competitive Exams: Reporting on examinations, admissions, entrance systems and the challenges faced by students navigating India’s highly competitive education environment.
•Student Issues: Covering the experiences, concerns and challenges of students across different stages of education.
•Changing Learning Landscape: Exploring how technology, artificial intelligence and new approaches to learning are reshaping education in India.
Journalism & Approach:
Over the years, Prabhav has reported from across the education ecosystem, speaking with students, teachers, educators, institutional leaders and policymakers to understand stories beyond the official narrative.
His work spans breaking news, interviews, features, explainers and long-form journalism, with a particular interest in making complex education issues accessible without reducing their complexity.
For Prabhav, education journalism is not simply about reporting who announced what. It is about asking what happens after the announcement — whether a policy reaches the classroom, whether a reform reaches the student, how institutions and teachers respond, and who may be left behind.
Authoritativeness & Trust
His reporting is guided by a simple principle: go beyond the announcement, find the reality, and tell the story honestly.
Whether the story begins with a government notification, a university decision, a policy change or a student's experience, Prabhav approaches education as a subject that directly shapes the lives and futures of millions of people.
His particular interest lies in the stories that often exist beneath the biggest headlines — the realities inside classrooms, universities, examination centres and the wider education system.
For him, education journalism is ultimately about getting those stories right.
