About the Conference

It’s the time of the year, we are bringing MCE Global Conference for the second time to our educators in the Middle East!

This year, the theme for our conference is AI in Education. Generative AI tools present new opportunities and challenges in the education sector. Educators are finding a balance in using both traditional teaching and learning resources, and technologies in their daily lessons. If you are looking for ways to be productive and effective in teaching for Cambridge learners, this upcoming conference will be for you!

The Cambridge Curriculum holds immense importance in the Middle East as a beacon of global educational excellence. Developed by the University of Cambridge, its internationally recognized standards elevate the region's educational landscape. Emphasizing critical thinking, inquiry, and cultural diversity, the curriculum prepares Middle Eastern students to navigate a rapidly evolving global society. Its adaptability allows integration with local contexts while maintaining a high academic standard. By fostering a holistic and innovative approach to learning, the Cambridge Curriculum contributes significantly to shaping a generation of Middle Eastern students who are well-prepared, culturally aware, and equipped to thrive in the challenges and opportunities of the 21st century.

Our educational experts will be covering the following topics based on the Cambridge Curriculum from Grade 1 to 11:

How AI can be effectively infused into our traditional English teaching and learning

The MCE Maths aka the Singapore Approach to teaching Maths effectively

Relook into the Science teaching concepts – are there new ways to learn Science?

As part of the conference programme, participants can expect to experience MCE’s full suite of education solutions, which include print and digital learning content, and professional development programmes.
