Educators from around the world will gather in Istanbul for the fifth Education Summit on 5-6 December.
Organised by the Turkish Maarif Foundation, the Summit will convene under the theme “Healing the world through education.” Organisers affirm that it will comprehensively explore the role of education in social transformation.
The opening ceremony will be held with the attendance of First Lady of the Republic of Türkiye HE Emine Erdoğan and First Lady of Syrian Arab Republic HE Latifa al-Droubi. The program will bring together policymakers, academics, experts and youth representatives.
Education ministers from various countries will discuss the impact of education systems on economic development, social cohesion, cultural interaction and crisis management in a high-level session.
President of the Maarif Foundation, Mahmut M. Özdil, conveyed the growing interest in the Summit with the following words:
“Since 2021, the global experience of the Maarif Foundation has taken shape as an intellectual platform through the Istanbul Education Summit. Over these five years, interest has grown far beyond expectations—growing from an online initiative into a worldwide platform that today engages and influences tens of thousands.”
At present, the Turkish Maarif Foundation operates in 64 countries with 583 educational institutions and 2 universities; they provide educational opportunities to nearly 70,000 students, prioritising not only academic growth but also cultural awareness and character education.
