Our plans for 2021
Our next World Education Week will be bigger and better than ever!
Inspiration to impact
In 2021, we aim to bring over 100 virtual events to a global audience. 100 of these events will be hosted by schools. The remaining events will be hosted by members of our T4 Alliance – education NGOs and nonprofits. This will provide opportunities for schools and organisations to share how they have developed their expertise with the express purpose of inspiring other schools and organisations to understand the journey to excellence.
Dates for World Education Week 2021
World Education Week 2021 will happen Sunday 3rd October – Friday 8th October.

This year, our theme is ‘School Celebration’. This is a world-wide effort to recognise the positive strides schools and education systems have made whilst experiencing challenges throughout the pandemic. We aim to celebrate schools around the world that have developed great expertise that other teachers and schools around the world can emulate.
