This year’s summit featured over 400 speakers from around the world, including education giants such as Professor John Hattie, Professor Michael Fullan, Professor Sugata Mitra, Professor Viviane Robinson, Dr Bill Rogers and Sal Khan – the Founder and CEO of Khan Academy to name a few.
All teachers of Gateway Colleges were fortunate to have attended the World Education Summit for the past 3 years due to the substantial investments made by Gateway on professional development. This year too, the school enrolled all its 600 teachers to attend the summit, enabling them to gain valuable knowledge on the latest trends and research in education.
