African Education Festival, Johannesburg 2020

As educators, how do we challenge ourselves to be more effective practitioners and remain inspired? How can we create educational ecosystems that thrive within and beyond the confines of a classroom? How do we develop students who understand their role and will be positioned to succeed in our globalised, integrated and collaborative world? These topics, among others, were addressed at the 2020 African Education Festival that took place in Johannesburg on 27 - 28 February.

The 2020 African Education Festival engaged with inspiring stories, innovative ideas and integrated educational approaches from our keynote speakers, panelists and other fellow educators. You can also take a look at what the IB community shared during the African Education Festival.
