The conference will be a platform to discuss new strategies, research findings, and best practices to identify new frameworks for that.

“Greening Education” aims to deliver strong, coordinated, and comprehensive action that will prepare every learner to acquire the knowledge, skills, values, and attitudes to tackle climate change and promote sustainable development. The implementation of the greening education concept in the school system will also be discussed at the conference.

Keynote speakers will share their best practices, research findings, and new knowledge on different kinds of themes related to quality education.

In addition to that, the performance of the schools will be evaluated under the identified key performance criteria. Selected schools will be recognized for their excellence.

School visits, honouring ceremonies, and cultural programs have also been scheduled to make the conference colourful.
