Welcome to #SGEF2024


Rarely do we have the opportunity to experience the #JoyOfLearning firsthand. SGEF serves as our special gathering place, and I have attended every Annual SGEF since 2016. We are excited to connect with #HappyTeachers in Jaipur.

This year’s conference theme is “Competencies Beyond Content: Aligning Today’s Curriculum with Tomorrow’s Unknown.” As we navigate a world where traditional education methods are increasingly becoming irrelevant, it is critical to rethink how we prepare students for future challenges that are only beginning to take shape.

Influential studies, like the recent Harvard Business Publishing Education analysis, underscore the urgency of evolving educational practices. The jobs of the future, influenced by rapid advancements in AI and technology, are unpredictable. This reality demands that we shift our focus from traditional content to fostering a broad set of competencies.

Prioritising competencies involves a proactive approach to curriculum reform, aiming to equip students with a diverse skill set by completing their K-12 education. We are discussing the potential of integrating essential practical skills, such as digital literacy and environmental stewardship, alongside indispensable soft skills like critical thinking, adaptability, and collaborative problem-solving.

This conference invites education stakeholders—school leaders, policymakers, teachers, students, and pedagogies—to engage in a critical dialogue about these transformative approaches. Together, we will explore innovative educational strategies that prioritise competencies over content, ensuring our students are not only ready for the jobs of tomorrow but also equipped to solve the problems of the future. Join us in shaping an educational paradigm that prepares our students to navigate and succeed in the unknown landscape of tomorrow’s careers.
