The International School of French Baking & Pâtisserie (ISFBP), founded by Yash and Anishkaa Malpani, has opened in Pune to provide professional training in French baking and pâtisserie.

Located at Mantri Centre, Fergusson Road, Shivajinagar, the institute offers two full-time programmes: a 3.5-month Foundation Programme and a 6.5-month Diploma Programme in French Baking & Pâtisserie Arts.

The foundation course covers French pastries, artisan breads, viennoiserie, chocolate and confectionery, tarts, cookies and plated desserts. The diploma programme includes advanced baking techniques, sourdough, laminated doughs, chocolate displays, recipe development, bakery entrepreneurship and business management.

The school also provides training in professional kitchen practices, business management and structured placement assistance for up to one year after graduation. Employment is not guaranteed.

ISFBP offers a conditional City & Guilds accreditation pathway and conducts one-day and three-day masterclasses for baking enthusiasts and working professionals.

The programmes are intended to prepare students for careers in pastry kitchens, hotels, bakeries, cafés, pâtisseries and food businesses. Diploma graduates can also explore opportunities in chocolate and confectionery, pastry consulting and product development.

The institute is accepting enquiries for its 10-seat cohorts at its Pune admissions office.

“Most schools never consciously chose their basic unit. They inherited one from the past: the class. With the class as the focus, the things that happen between people get squeezed out: the apprentice learning alongside someone skilled, the child taught where they are rather than where the class is, and the daily practice of getting along with people they did not choose. The most promising new schools are organising themselves around the individual child rather than the class. A better approach is to group children by readiness in each subject and change those groups as they progress. Communication, collaboration and handling disagreement need daily practice. In a school built around individual progress, teachers get time back to observe, diagnose, mentor and step in where they are most needed. Most teachers entered the profession to make a difference to children. Many spend their careers managing classes instead. The best new schools offer them a system that finally lets them do the work they signed up for.”

“Government medical college seats are 100% filled, vacancies are confined entirely to the private sector. Colleges and state fee-fixation committees must re-examine these fee structures, because lowering NEET qualifying cut-offs will not resolve an affordability crisis when millions of candidates already qualify. The vacancies are an indicator that qualifying for medical admission does not necessarily mean students could afford a seat. Institutions charge full fees to early applicants and offer discounts to late entrants to fill the vacant seats. It reflects a purely commercial approach that compromises merit while still failing to fill classrooms. High management-quota fees are putting seats beyond the reach of many candidates. Some 24 lakh students write the entrance test for 1.4 lakh seats. While the cream gets government seats, the rest of the students cannot afford a management-quota seat.”
