Educators from different countries with the Hon. Governor and Secretary of Ministry of Education in Uva Province, Sri Lanka, at the conclusion of the International Conference in 2025.
“The International Association for Quality Education (IAfQE) is a non-profit international association. The primary objective of the association is “enhance the quality of early childhood, primary, and secondary education by empowering STEAM education, employability skills, entrepreneurship skills, green education, and mindfulness to build multi-talented global citizens with 21st-century skills and spiritual well-being.”
The association primarily focuses on school curricula, teaching methods (pedagogical approaches), assessment and evaluation systems, capacity building of teachers, leadership and school management, school environment, and the quality and standards of schools. These aspects are essential to rapidly upgrade in order to develop skills crucial for the 21st century and promote the spiritual well-being of children.
Key 21st-century skills include creativity, critical thinking, problem-solving, collaboration, communication skills, technological literacy, information literacy, entrepreneurship, leadership, adaptability in a multicultural society, social responsibility and ethics, global and cultural awareness, civic literacy, and responsibility.
Spiritual well-being is not tied to any specific religious or spiritual practice or ideology but refers to the overall quality of a human being.
Curricula, teaching methodologies, assessment, and evaluation methods should be upgraded with a focus on STEAM education, employability, entrepreneurship, environmental sustainability, and mindfulness. This holistic approach aims to develop children who can navigate the challenges of a rapidly changing world.
Ensuring children’s safety and upholding their rights are fundamental prerequisites for promoting holistic development and delivering quality education. Achieving this requires a coordinated and collaborative effort among families, communities, educational institutions, healthcare providers, social services, and policymakers, with a focus on physical, emotional, psychological, social, and nutritional well-being. In recognition of this, IAFQE is committed to prioritizing preventive measures, early intervention, and sustained support to foster safe, supportive environments where every child can thrive and realize their full potential.

At the conclusion of the conference, from December 28th to 31st, 2026, an Edu-Entertainment sightseeing tour in Sri Lanka will be arranged for delegates to experience the beauty and cultural heritage of the country.

The conference will highlight strategies for fostering essential 21st-century skills and supporting the spiritual well-being of children, helping them thrive in a competitive global society.
The conference is not merely a one-time event; it represents an ongoing commitment to improving the quality of education.
