Abu Dhabi: More than 29 academics and over 700 school principals are expected to take part in the school leadership conference that begins on Sunday, April 20, at the Emirates Palace Hotel in Abu Dhabi.
The conference, Achieving Excellence in School Leadership Practices, is launched by the Abu Dhabi Education Council (ADEC), the independent corporate body tasked to develop education and educational institutions in Abu Dhabi.
Mubarak Al Shamsi, Director General, ADEC, who recently held a meeting with the working committee members of the conference, said the event will serve as an opportunity for everyone related to the UAE's education sector to discuss various aspects of education at the local and international level.
He said the conference will emphasise on the importance for schools to have a far-sighted vision, in line with the rapid growth of Abu Dhabi, and is certain that the participants will benefit from the best practices and experiences presented by the international speakers.
"The conference will discuss the professional growth of staff in the education sector, as steady career progression is vital for teachers and administrators alike. The presence of international experts along with school administrators and people concerned with the development of education in the country will pave the way for formation of crucial partnerships, which eventually will lead to a higher level of educational excellence in schools," said Al Shamsi.
