International Conference for School Leaders 2023 to be held in June

The International Conference for School Leaders, a flagship event by The International Schools of Sri Lanka (TISSL), is returning after a hiatus of three-years, and will be held on 16-17 June in Galle. Through its theme of “Re-emerging through resilience and reinvention”, the conference hopes to capture the important role that can be played by educators in rebuilding economies and restoring confidence in civil society and social systems.

The conference aims to also provide an ideal platform for school leaders to build capacity in shaping the post-pandemic “new normal”. The TISSL conference is set to feature international speakers with extensive cross-cultural exposure who will share global best practices in school education.

There will also be a panel discussion which will provide an opportunity for thought leaders to exchange their views on the conference theme. TISSL expects participation of 250 persons, and addressed the media recently to paint a better picture of what the event will look like.

The organisers TISSL, made up of 23 international schools in the country, was established with the multiple objectives of promoting global best practices in education, increasing collaboration between international schools and strengthening goodwill among school communities.

Sharing more information on the role played by TISSL as well as the theme of this year’s conference, TISSL Chairman Harshana Perera went into detail about the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on education and the adoption of remote learning around the globe.
