Call for Abstracts: The 5th Faculty of Education Annual Conference 2026 Transforming Education for Future Generations: Advancing Global Justice and Innovation

Call for Abstracts: The 5th Faculty of Education Annual Conference 2026
Transforming Education for Future Generations: Advancing Global Justice and Innovation
Education is a pivotal force in sustainable human development, catalyzing social equity and equipping individuals to navigate an increasingly dynamic global landscape. However, persistent challenges—unequal resource distribution, digital disparities, and systemic inequities—impede its transformative potential. Disparities between the Global North and South, coupled with uneven access to emerging technologies, exacerbate social, economic, and gender divides. Additionally, the need for inclusive, sustainable, and adequately financed education systems has intensified, as highlighted by global calls for equitable access and local policy debates. Addressing these challenges requires rigorous, evidence-based strategies to ensure equitable access, high-quality learning outcomes, and innovative educational ecosystems that foster transformative thinking and resilience.
The Faculty of Education at Universitas Islam Internasional Indonesia (UIII) invites scholars, policymakers, educators, and researchers to submit abstracts and papers for the 5th Annual Conference, to be held in 2026, under the theme "Transforming Education for Future Generations: Advancing Global Justice and Innovation." This two-day hybrid conference will serve as a global platform for interdisciplinary dialogue, empirical research, and policy-relevant solutions, drawing on UIII’s Faculty of Education concentrations: Curriculum, Teaching, and Learning; Educational Assessment and Evaluation; Education Policy, Management, and Leadership; and Education and Society. The conference aims to address pressing challenges in global education, from ethical AI integration to fostering growth mindsets and equitable financing.
We invite submissions employing robust theoretical, empirical, or interdisciplinary methodologies aligned with the conference theme. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
* Curriculum Innovation and Decolonized Pedagogies: Designing inclusive curricula and teaching practices that integrate diverse cultural, historical, and Islamic perspectives to foster equitable, innovative and deep learning environments,
* Educational Assessment for Quality and Equity: Advancing evidence-based assessment and evaluation methodologies to ensure high-quality, inclusive learning outcomes, particularly for diverse and marginalized groups.
* Education Policy and Leadership for Systemic Change: Formulating policies and leadership strategies to promote global partnerships, sustainable financing, and resilient education systems, linked to the Education Policy, Management, and Leadership concentration.
* Islamic Education, Society, and Social Justice: Investigating education’s role in promoting social cohesion, civic engagement, and equitable access for girls, boys, and disadvantaged groups, especially in conflict-affected regions.
* Ethical AI and Digital Citizenship in Education: Leveraging artificial intelligence and digital technologies to enhance learning while addressing ethical challenges, algorithmic biases, and access disparities.
* Innovative Learning Systems and Digital Transformation: Developing hybrid, lifelong, and technology-enabled learning ecosystems to shift paradigms from traditional schooling to flexible, inclusive learning.
* Education Financing and Public-Private Synergies: Creating sustainable funding models through public-private partnerships to support free education mandates and strengthen school ecosystems, particularly in underserved areas.
* Education in Crisis and Conflict Contexts: Ensuring children’s right to education in times of conflict and displacement through resilient school ecosystems and global partnerships.
* Transformative Thinking and Growth Mindset in Education: Fostering resilience, adaptability, and innovative thinking in learners and educators through evidence-based pedagogical and policy interventions to promote lifelong learning and equitable educational outcomes.
