The Istanbul Education Summit, which was held online for the first time in 2021 with the theme of “New Trends and Transformation in Education” by Turkish Maarif Foundation, will convene face-to-face in Istanbul on 4-5 November 2022 to discuss “The Future of School: The Post-Pandemic Needs of Education.”
The Istanbul Education Summit, which aims to be the meeting point of institutions and stakeholders engaging in international activities in the field of education, is an international platform where education-related future perspectives, theoretical approaches and practices will be opened to discussion.
The Summit will take place in a global framework that takes into account education-related developments in the native countries of its participants and facilitates the sharing of experiences from different nations.
There will be plenty of opportunities for discussion and learning at different levels throughout the Summit. This year’s High-Level Session will focus on the “Needs of Post-Pandemic Education” with the participation of education minister from various countries. The remaining four panels will bring together academics and experts to exchange views on different dimensions of the main theme.

In addition, the “Good Practices in Education” presentations, which are compiled from the Maarif Schools in various countries, will be enriched by a photography contest exhibition and other events that will provide opportunities to study stories from different parts of the world, where our schools are located.
