The imperative to provide quality education to all children is reaffirmed by the post-2015 agenda. However, securing qualified teachers and curriculum innovation—two of the important elements of quality education—are still big challenges for many countries. This symposium aims to bring together policymakers and academic researchers from different parts of the world (Bangladesh, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Myanmar, and the Philippines from Asia and Kenya, Malawi, and Zambia from Africa) to present the current status of curriculum development and teacher education in their respective countries and to discuss potential collaboration and cooperation for the coming decade to ensure quality education for the world’s children.

Participation is free of charge and no early registration is required. If you are interested, please by all means join us!!
