emirates7 - Under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, the 5th Sharjah International Summit on Improvement in Education will bring together 120 international speakers from 30 countries, delivering 130 sessions across keynote addresses, panel discussions, and interactive workshops.
The summit will take place on 14–15 February 2026 at Sharjah Education Academy in the University City.
Held amid rapid global transformations in education, the fifth edition of the summit will explore key issues shaping the future of learning, including education system improvement, innovation in learning, educational leadership, equity and inclusion, artificial intelligence, and the development of inclusive and sustainable education systems.
Details of the summit were announced during a press conference jointly hosted by the Sharjah Private Education Authority (SPEA) and Sharjah Education Academy (SEA) at SPEA headquarters.
The conference was attended by Khawla Al Hosani, Vice Chancellor of Sharjah Education Academy, and from SPEA, Ziad Shatat, Director of the Continuous Improvement Department; Wajdi Manai, Senior Advisor for Innovation and Education Development; and Najla Al Mansoori, Director of the "Proud to Be a Teacher" programme, alongside senior officials, department heads, and representatives of the media.
The press conference highlighted the summit’s programme, main tracks, strategic objectives, and its growing network of partnerships with local and international institutions, underscoring the summit’s role in supporting education system development at both regional and global levels.
In her remarks, Khawla Al Hosani stated that the Sharjah International Summit on Improvement in Education represents a unifying platform for advancing dialogue around education as a living system shaped by both policy and practice, with people at its core. She emphasised that meaningful education improvement can only be achieved through deep professional dialogue, knowledge exchange, and shared understanding of today’s educational challenges and opportunities. She added that the convergence of local and global expertise contributes to building more sustainable education systems, where impact extends beyond discussion to tangible improvement in schools and learning communities.
Najla Al Mansoori affirmed that the summit reflects a leading model of institutional integration between Sharjah Private Education Authority and Sharjah Education Academy, grounded in a shared vision to generate real and sustainable educational impact. She noted that this year’s edition is distinguished by the integration of the Sharjah Award for Educational Excellence and Distinction within the summit programme, reinforcing a culture of excellence and celebrating outstanding educational practices. This integration, she explained, strengthens Sharjah’s position as a regional hub for educational excellence and encourages institutions to adopt innovative models while expanding participation and competitiveness across all award categories.
The Pre-Conference Day will feature 11 advanced masterclasses, bringing together education leaders, experts, and decision-makers from within the UAE and internationally. These masterclasses are designed to equip teachers, school leaders, and policymakers with practical tools and applied frameworks that can be directly implemented in educational settings.
Across its keynote sessions and thematic dialogues, the summit will open in-depth conversations on the future of education, addressing the development of early childhood education systems as the foundation of lifelong learning pathways, and advancing school quality improvement through comprehensive, learner-centered models. Sessions will highlight the critical role of teachers and school leaders as agents of change, while examining how educational leadership shapes motivating, resilient, and sustainable learning cultures.
The summit will also explore the accelerating impact of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies on teaching, assessment, and personalised learning, alongside discussions on inclusion, empowerment, and educational equity to ensure fair access to quality learning opportunities for all learners. Emphasis will be placed on bridging educational research, classroom practice, and policymaking to develop adaptable and scalable education models capable of responding to present challenges and anticipating future needs.
