  • Active participation in academic and promotional sessions
  • International visibility for institutional achievements
  • Opportunities for staff and students to engage globally
  • Enhanced reputation and leadership in international educationBecoming a partner also contributes directly to CSR goals through participation in an initiative that drives global educational development.

Registration Fee and Financial Transparency

As non-profit organizations, IAFQE and SAIA4ECCD implement a wide range of educational initiatives and provide free professional development to thousands of educators. They also manage digital platforms and resources to ensure widespread access to educational content.

To support the operational infrastructure—including web platforms, staffing, logistics, and administrative costs—a registration fee is required. These funds are allocated as follows:

  • A portion supports IAFQE and SAIA4ECCD’s core operations
  • The remainder funds the organization of the conference, including awards and logistics

Despite ongoing efforts, registration fees from previous conferences have not covered operational costs. At present, these expenses are sustained by the personal contributions of the management team. Neither governmental nor private sector funding has been received to date.

Therefore, we extend an open invitation for financial support and sponsorships to help scale the impactful work being conducted under the IAFQE and SAIA4ECCD umbrella and to continue advancing global educational transformation in alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

01. Introduction

The International Conference on Quality Education 2025 will take place from December 15th – 18th, 2025 in Dayananda Sagar University, Bengaluru, India. The event will bring together global leaders in education, school owners, principals, educators, teachers, and distinguished VIPs from various countries.

The primary objective of this conference is to “enhance the quality of early childhood, primary, and secondary education by empowering STREAM education, employability skills, entrepreneurship skills, green education, and mindfulness to build multi-talented global citizens with 21st-century skills and spiritual well-being.”

Key themes of the conference will include: Early childhood and school curriculum development, Teaching-learning methodologies (pedagogical approaches), Assessment and evaluation systems, Capacity building for educators, Leadership and school management, Special education and greening education, Quality standards in education, Research and innovation in education, Corporate social responsibility (CSR) in education. These topics are pivotal for the rapid development of skills necessary for the 21st century, as well as for nurturing the spiritual well-being of children.

In today’s volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) global environment, individuals must equip themselves with the skills needed to navigate these challenges. The conference will highlight strategies for fostering essential 21st-century skills and supporting the spiritual well-being of children, helping them thrive in a competitive global society.

The conference is not merely a one-time event; it represents an ongoing commitment to improving the quality of education.

A series of pre-conference activities—including live interviews, discussions, presentations, and an online lecture series—will be conducted by delegates and selected experts in the lead-up to the event. These activities will cover key themes of the conference, as well as areas such as STREAM education, employability, entrepreneurship, green education, and mindfulness.

Educators are encouraged to actively participate in these pre-conference sessions.
Participants in the pre-conference activities will be honored with special awards.

The physical conference will be held from December 15th – 18th, 2025 in Dayananda Sagar University, Bengaluru, India

02. Problem Statement

  • The global knowledge landscape is evolving rapidly, driven by significant scientific and technological advancements. In response, children must develop multidisciplinary skills to navigate the challenges of an increasingly complex global society. However, the current education system faces significant challenges in effectively addressing the needs of this dynamic environment.

  • To bridge the gap between the current state of learning outcomes and the demands of the future, substantial reforms are required to ensure the highest standards of quality, equity, and integrity within the educational system—from early childhood care and education to higher education. The lack of collaboration and international forums among countries significantly hinders the implementation of these necessary reforms.

  • The STREAM education approach, designed to equip children with 21st-century skills and prepare them for a rapidly changing world, has not been effectively implemented in many classrooms. Curricula, teaching methodologies, and assessment and evaluation systems in schools have not been upgraded at the pace required to align with STEAM principles and evolving global demands.

  • Moreover, there is an urgent need to enhance teacher empowerment and capacity-building mechanisms for educators and educational leaders to better meet the needs of a rapidly evolving society. The lack of motivation among educators for research and innovation limits the development of new strategies and solutions to address existing challenges and improve the quality of education.

  • Additionally, there is a dearth of international platforms where educators can share best practices, research findings, and innovative ideas aimed at improving the quality of education. The valuable contributions of educators and the excellence demonstrated by schools are not adequately recognized or evaluated on global platforms.


03. Vision:

Empower stakeholders in education to equip children with the skills necessary to thrive in a rapidly evolving world fostering their 21st-century competencies and spiritual well-being, while ensuring the sustainability of individuals, nations, and the global society.

04. Mission:

To establish international platforms and networks for educational stakeholders, aimed at enhancing the quality of education by promoting STREAM education, employability, entrepreneurship, green education, and mindfulness. 

05. Objectives:

  • To establish international platforms and networks that empower educators—including teachers, principals, and educational leaders—in implementing STREAM education.

  • To create international platforms and networks for exchanging best practices, research findings, and innovative ideas to promote STREAM education within the school system.

  • To create international platforms and networks for the capacity development of teachers and educators in the following areas: early childhood and school curriculum development, teaching-learning methodologies (pedagogical approaches), assessment and evaluation systems, capacity building for educators, leadership and school management, special education and green education, quality standards in education, research and innovation in education, and corporate social responsibility (CSR) in education.
  • To develop international platforms and networks for sharing best practices in fostering employability, entrepreneurship, green education, and mindfulness in schools, addressing the challenges of modern society.

  • To establish international platforms and networks for sharing best practices, research findings, and innovative ideas to equip children with 21st-century skills and promote their spiritual well-being. (Spiritual well-being is understood not as any particular religious or spiritual practice but as the overall quality of human existence.)

  • To recognize and honor the dedicated contributions of educators for their innovations, research findings, sharing of best practices, and unwavering commitment to quality education.

  • To acknowledge and celebrate the outstanding achievements of schools for their educational leadership, innovations, and contributions to advancing quality education.


06. Themes of the Conference

  • Curriculum Development: Enhancing school curricula by integrating STREAM education, employability skills, entrepreneurship, green education, and mindfulness.

  • Innovative Teaching Practices: Advancing teaching methodologies and pedagogical approaches to foster critical thinking and creativity in STREAM-related disciplines.

08. Capacity Development – Pre-Conference Activities: 

The conference is not merely a four-days event; it is an international initiative dedicated to enhancing the quality of education.

A comprehensive series of pre-conference activities has been scheduled, running from now until the conference’s conclusion. An international-level capacity development project is being implemented, allowing delegates to share best practices with thousands of educators across Sri Lanka and all over the world. 

Delegates can participate in these activities at their convenience, sharing innovative practices, research findings, and subject-matter expertise with education stakeholders worldwide. Pre-conference activities will include panel discussions, interactive sessions, workshops, live interviews, and presentations covering key areas such as curriculum development, pedagogical approaches, assessment and evaluation systems, teacher capacity building, educational leadership and management, quality standards, research, innovation, and corporate social responsibility (CSR). These sessions will be broadcast live on social media platforms, with recordings subsequently uploaded to YouTube and other educational websites for broader access.

These initiatives provide a platform for experts to contribute meaningfully to global education reform while earning international recognition and expanding their professional networks.

A special project has been implemented for the capacity development of educators in South Asian countries. https://www.iafqe.org/ipfcd/ If you are eligible to give presentations as a resource person, your registration fee will be refundable, and you will be invited as a special guest.

Program Agenda October 27th, 2025


International Professional Development Program for Educators

International Professional Development Program for Educators

A Joint Educational Endeavor of the International Association for Quality Education and
the Ministry of Education, Uva Province, Sri Lanka, with the collaborative partnerships of
universities, organizations, schools, and educational leaders from the global community.

1. Executive Summary

The Ministry of Education recognizes the urgent need to prepare educators for the demands of 21st-century education. Traditional teaching methods are increasingly insufficient for addressing the global challenges of technology-driven, knowledge-based societies.

This proposal outlines a comprehensive international certificate program designed to empower teachers, principals, and teacher educators with modern pedagogical skills and STREAM-based methodologies. Delivered online, the program integrates STREAM (Science, Technology, Reading, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics)Artificial Intelligence in Educationresearch methodologies, and global best practices.
