Get Ready for InvokED 3.0- A Global Dialogue On Education Leadership!
At ShikshaLokam, we believe that strong Education Leadership is key to ensuring education equity. As long as long as they are continuously learning and improving, an effective learning environment is continuously built for students to access quality education and thrive.
InvokED, is a global dialogue on education leadership It brings together diverse actors to catalyse collective action to enable them. In the past editions we have explored how Sarkaar (government), Samaaj (civil society) and Bazaar (markets) can enable collective action, build a movement to enable education leadership.
At InvokED 3.0 we will explore how the momentum for this movement toward education equity can be built and sustained. We will identify ways to catalyse different elements of movement building. And take next steps to shape this movement together, so that all our children can dream, learn and succeed.
