The inaugural ceremony of the education conference marks a momentous beginning, symbolizing the convergence of visionaries, educators, and change-makers dedicated to shaping the future of education.
This keynote aims to shed light on the evolving landscape of language testing and evaluation as a result of the application of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). Being a framework that is internationally recognised, the CEFR provides a solution tostandardisingthe assessment of language proficiency for educators, learners, and institutions.
Effective student learning is chiefly dependent on strong professional development programs that support in developing critical consciousness about the teaching profession; they must also address issues of equity and social justice in a fine balance. Equity in teacher development means that all students have a right to be exposed to excellent teaching. Likewise, all teachers have a right to high-quality professional learning.
In the 21st century, educational leadership is a dynamic challenge, requiring a multifaceted approach to effectively steer institutions through a complex landscape. Leaders grapple with district-specific policies, legislative changes, and evolving trends in curriculum and assessment. Technical proficiency is essential as leaders integrate new technologies, fostering digital literacy through learning management systems, online resources, and e-learning platforms.
