Join the Conversation, Ignite Change!
We are thrilled to extend a warm invitation to you for the inaugural World Children Parliament organized by the International Association for Quality Education – this will be an extraordinary gathering of talented minds committed to transforming global education and the lives of many children and young people.
Why the World Children Parliament?
In the realm of education, our shared mission is to cultivate a brighter, more equitable future for all of our children and young adults. The World Children’s Parliament aims to be the epicentre of this transformative dialogue, where we discuss innovative educational solutions to some of the greatest global educational issues and share good practice to inform change. We recognize that education is the cornerstone of progress, and it is through collective action that we can address the pressing issues affecting learners locally, nationally and internationally.
What’s on the Agenda?
In our endeavors to shape the future of education, the World Children’s Parliament is committed to addressing pivotal issues that resonate across classrooms worldwide. It convenes international forums on behalf of the protection and rights of children. Our agenda encapsulates the very essence of transformative education, delving into various pillars that define our collective responsibility. We concern that Protection of the child is key importent factor for quality education.
Consequently, you will find that some of the topics for discussion will revolve around school curricula, the teaching-learning process, assessment and evaluation, school leadership and management, as well as child development and child protection. Mostly, when international conferences are ongoing, the theme of the World children Parliament will be aligned with the conference themes. In this moment we have given more priority for Child Protection.
World Children Parliament is the echo of children on
Rights of the Child
to Survival, to Development, to Protection and to Participation.
International forum parallel to the international conference on Quality Education 2024
“Dr. Kalam International Foundation (DKIF) is a research organization based in New Delhi, India, and the International Association for Quality Education (IAFQE) is a non-profit oriented international education organization which is working with schools, institutes, and education organizations in the global society to enhance the quality of education, focusing on SDG No. 4: Quality Education. The International Conference on Quality Education 2024 is organized by the IAFQE and DKIF together from May 26th to 30th, 2024, in New Delhi, India, with the participation of global leaders in education, school owners, principals, educators, teachers, and special VIPs from different countries. The conference will focus on ’empowering 21st-century skills and spiritual well-being in children by enhancing the quality of education through STEAM education, employability, entrepreneurship, green education, and mindfulness.’
The themes of the conference are Early childhood and school curriculum, Teaching-learning methods (pedagogical approaches), Assessment and evaluation systems, Capacity development of teachers, Leadership and school management, Quality and standards of schools, Research and innovations, Corporate social responsibility (CSR).
Without the child’s safety and well-being, it is difficult to be concerned about holistic development or quality education for children. For the child’s safety and well-being, a collaborative effort involving families, communities, schools, healthcare providers, social services, and policymakers is needed for physical, emotional, psychological, social, as well as food safety. Therefore, parallel to the international conference on quality education, a special program called “World Children Parliament” is organized by the IAFQE and DKIF with many organizations related to child protection.
The Child Protection Authority of Sri Lanka also gives academic guidance and consultancy to make this event more successful, and Mr. Udaya Kumara Amarasingha, Chairman of the Child Protection Authority Sri Lanka, has been appointed as the head of the board of jury to evaluate performance and to nominate presenters for awards. The World children Parliament is an online international platform where school children in the global society can apply to share their ideas, knowledge, and best practices, school projects related to child protection. Speakers have the opportunities to participate in the international conference on quality education representing their schools, and they can do presentation on child protection at the conference. Based on the performance of presentations, both schools and presenters will be eligible to receive international awards such as ‘Excellence Presentation on Child Protection,’ and ‘Changing Agent for Child protection.’
