disseminating knowledge and application of knowledge. We believe in creating a
dynamic, exciting discovery-driven intellectual environment in our institution.
About the Conference:
After the first wave of the onset of globalization, stakeholders
in the field of education felt that a transformation of existing educational
systems was imminent. What followed that was an upsurge of new initiatives in
educational systems across the world. However, since the initial euphoria there
remain several challenges which have not yet found a suitable resolution. The
aim of the conference is to provide an opportunity for academicians and
professionals from various educational fields with cross-disciplinary interests
to bridge the knowledge gap, promote research esteem and the evolution of
pedagogy. We invite research papers that encompass conceptual analysis, design
implementation and performance evaluation.

1.
To give
educationists and professionals related to the field of education a platform to
exchange opinions on the theme;

explore challenges in education related to identified sub-themes;
3.
To expand
perspectives of educational leadership and practices towards achieving a
globally competitive edge.
