Global Educators Conclave has been established to explore global educational practices and policies and adapt them to local contexts. In the coming times, such GEC events will be looked upon as an ideal solution to effectively prepare a future-proof curriculum for 21st century learners. Students from Chennai as well as other parts of the nation can also benefit from this conclave center. During the GEC 2024 program in Chennai, Dr. Thamizhachi Thangapandian highlighted the merits of preparation of a curriculum for students that takes note of innovative teaching methods as well as integrates technology into the classroom of Tamil Nadu and other regions. Dr. Thamizhachi even discussed how the teachers and students must follow a forward-looking curriculum to better tackle the challenges of the 21st century.

This initiative aims to equip them with the skills and knowledge to create effective educational environments and foster student development in the context of the digital age. The GEC 24 initiative is a response to the evolving landscape of education, where technology is transforming the way students learn. This transformation necessitates the need for a curriculum that is not just theoretical but also practical.
