• Third World Conference on Transformative Education (WCTE)
“Transformative Education in the Americas”
April 4-6, 2024 | University of Puerto Rico – Rio Piedras,
San Juan, Puerto Rico
The Global Institute for Transformative Education (GITE) in conjunction with Nuestra Escuela in Puerto Rico are organizing The Third World Conference on Transformative Education (WCTE).
Most of the current education systems are far removed from the socioeconomic and political realities of the Americas. They are the legacies of European colonial rules that are antiquated, even in Europe, and can neither effectively solve current problems in the Americas nor help speed up its socioeconomic growth and ensure its political stability. There is, therefore, a need to foster an inclusive and equitable society, moving away from educating children just for basic literacy and numeracy skills, to providing them world-class education for interconnected competitive global economies. Such a move will require a quasi-volte-face shift in how we rethink school curriculum, pedagogy, leadership, and research.
The organizers will be receiving proposals for panels, symposia, individual papers, round table discussions, interactive workshops, school presentations, poster sessions, art exhibition/public action workshops, and book talks. High quality papers will be considered for publication in a special issue in the Global Journal of Transformative Education (GJTE). Successful proposals will clearly demonstrate the relationship between the presentation and the theme of the conference.

Proposal Due Date – October 30, 2023
