The conference is limited to 100 educators, and selections will be based on early registrations, qualifications, and experience.

The conference is organized by the International Association for Quality Education (IAFQE) with the hosting and academic partnership of many schools, institutes, and organizations around the world. 

• The knowledge landscape in the world is changing rapidly. With various dynamic scientific and technological advances, children need multidisciplinary abilities to overcome the challenges of global society. However, the school system is facing challenges in fulfilling the needs of the global society effectively.
• The gap between the current state of learning outcomes and what is required must be bridged through major reforms that bring the highest quality, equity, and integrity into the system, from early childhood care and education to higher education. Lack of collaboration and international forums among countries hinder major reforms.
• The STEAM education approach in schools, aimed at developing children with 21st-century skills and preparing them for a rapidly changing world, is not effectively implemented in classrooms in many schools. Curriculums, teaching-learning processes, and assessment and evaluation methodologies in schools are not being rapidly upgraded to align with STEAM education approaches and fast-moving global needs.
• Teacher empowerment and capacity-building mechanisms for educators and educational managers need to be upgraded to meet the needs of a dynamic society. There is a lack of motivation among educators for research and innovations to find solutions and new strategies to address existing issues and shortcomings in quality education.
• Furthermore, there is a lack of international platforms for educators to share best practices, research findings, and innovative ideas to upgrade the quality of education. The dynamic service rendered by educators and the excellence of schools are not adequately evaluated on international platforms.”
