GLOBAL RECOGNITION PROGRAMME
INTERNATIONAL EDUCATION
EXCELLENCE HONOURS
2026
Honouring Experience. Recognising Contribution. Celebrating Excellence.
Presented by the International Association for Quality Education (IAFQE), in parallel with the International Conference on Quality Education 2026, this global initiative honours outstanding teachers, principals, educators and education leaders for their service, contribution and professional excellence.
WHY THIS INITIATIVE MATTERS
Every Great Education System Is Built by Great Educators
Millions of teachers and education professionals around the world dedicate their lives to developing children, young people, schools and communities. Many serve for decades without receiving international recognition for their contribution.
The International Education Excellence Honours creates a global platform to recognise and celebrate educators whose experience, leadership, professional performance and contribution have made a meaningful difference to education.
Your service has value.
