The Ministry of Education has announced that the seventh International Teachers Conference will be held in Ukulhas, Alifu Alifu Atoll, this September.
Since 2012, the National Institute of Education has organized this biennial conference to foster a culture of research among teachers and education professionals. The upcoming conference is scheduled for September 28 to 30.
The event will provide a platform for teachers to discuss the challenges faced by educators, explore solutions, and exchange ideas on various ways to improve teaching. The education ministry emphasised that such conferences are crucial for attracting foreign education professionals to the Maldives and expanding academic tourism.
This year's conference will feature presentations on topics such as inclusive education, curriculum development, professional teaching standards, the use of technology and modern tools in education, strengthening the teaching of Indigenous Islam and culture, addressing environmental changes, and educating students on personal responsibility.
Submissions for presenting papers are open until July 31.
The last conference, held in 2022 in Kulhudhuffushi, saw participation from over 220 teachers and scholars from both the Maldives and abroad.
