About The Conference


The thought process behind this event envisions the Conference as an opportunity for school heads across the nation to meet and reflect on shared experiences. Gaining perspective on the unique circumstances and challenges can help shape the future of educational direction for many institutions.

 

This year, the Conference’s theme centres on a significant topic: Lifelong Learning Systems, highlighting the importance of teaching and learning skills with a lifelong learning approach.  

 

Aga Khan University Examination Board (AKU-EB) believes that learning is a continuous process that does not end when formal education concludes. The task at hand, therefore, is for participants to ask themselves how to best incorporate such systems within the existing educational matrices.
