Education First 2026 | From Impact to Ecosystem

Building on the momentum of the 2025 forum which focused on Impact, Innovation, and Inclusion, this year’s Education First Forum under the theme “From Impact to Ecosystem“ marks a pivotal shift: the realization that meaningful change in education must occur not in silos, but across entire systems. As ECAE’s flagship event, aligned with the Year of the Family and in celebration of World Teachers’ Day, the Education First Forum will bring together national leaders, educators, researchers, policymakers, and family and community enablers to explore how strategic alignment between education, artificial intelligence, human capital, and societal well-being can shape a thriving future for the UAE.
