More than 200 educationists from over 30 countries have gathered in Nairobi for a landmark forum focused on the future of teaching and education in the era of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and rapid technological change. The three-day workshop, jointly organised by the Ministry of Education and the Aga Khan Foundation, brings together a diverse group of participants, including teachers, government officials, policymakers, human rights groups, development partners, and other stakeholders. The forum coincides with the 50th anniversary of the Aga Khan Foundation’s work in Kenya, marking decades of collaboration in education, health, civil society, and rural development. Education Principal Secretary Julius Bitok, who officially opened the forum, underscored Kenya’s pride in hosting this year’s event, which is dedicated to “reimagining the role of teachers as drivers of innovation, equity, and learning transformation.”
