The 21st century education era has created prospects but also faced with various challenges. This realization requires realigning education and research practices to respond to the rapidly changing 21st century development context.

Against this background, University of Rwanda, College of Education (UR-CE) invites educational practitioners, academicians, education development partners, and graduate students to submit papers for presentation in this international conference.

Drawing from the lessons learned from three international conferences previously hosted by UR-CE, participants will explore innovative STEM and social science pedagogies. Participants will also reflect on topical issues like Artificial Intelligence for education transformation, research dissemination for impact and other related topics.

Participants include educational practitioners, academicians, education development partners, organizations, non-government and postgraduate students — all from national and international educational contexts.

The preferred mode of presentation is in-person oral delivery. Only a few exceptional cases will be allowed to present online, making this a hybrid conference.

Presentations will be organized in parallel symposia reflecting the thematic clusters. There will also be opportunities for poster presentations and the exposition of research work. Eligible research presentations will be refined and published in the Rwandan Journal of Education.
