THE WORLD SCHOOLS SUMMIT 2027:

Shaping The Future Together

We are preparing young people for a world changing faster than our systems can keep up.

Artificial intelligence and shifting global demands are redefining the skills needed for 2030 and beyond. No single part of the system can respond alone, it demands alignment across schools, governments, funders, innovators, higher education and industry.

The Summit brings global education leaders together in the United Kingdom to confront one urgent question: How do we prepare young people for the future of work?

This is where the education ecosystem comes together to shape what comes next.

Why This Summit Matters

Bringing the system together

Scale · policy & intervention
The future of education depends on alignment across schools, governments, funders, and innovators, taking what works from local impact to national and global scale.

Beyond schools alone

Innovation · pedagogy & technology
Education doesn’t move forward in isolation. This is where policy, practice, and technology come together to explore what’s shaping student success, including the role of AI.

Built for action

Growth · leadership & collaboration
This is where institutions strengthen and move forward, through partnerships, major announcements, and commitments that turn ideas into progress.

The right people in one room

Alignment · one ecosystem
From ministers and funders to school leaders, founders, and CEOs, decision-makers across the ecosystem, all in one place.
