ICET 2022 Theme:
“Empowering Schools in Preparing Students with Real Life Skills”
Education is a social institution that is responsible for equipping generations with basic academic knowledge, learning skills, and cultural norms. That is, we assess the quality of educational systems and institutions by the competencies they develop in the learners to excel in the global society.
As the flagship institutions of education, schools are deemed responsible to prepare students with real-life skills. But, how competent are schools and today’s schooling in raising students with the capabilities to face real-life challenges and expectations?
ICET 2022 invites educational experts, educators, trainers, educational policymakers, and community leaders from the national and international community to reflect together on this inevitable question in schooling, curriculum development, and professional development.
ICET 2022 will explore opportunities and perspectives for teacher professional development and educational leadership that will empower students through instilling problem-solving skills and real-life competencies in them.
