The Global Forum for Shaping a Better Future is an annual convening organised by Teach For All's Global Institute. The inaugural Forum is an intimate but high impact convening bringing together the most visionary practitioners in education—from students to teachers to policymakers.

Together we'll investigate what’s working in classrooms, schools, and systems around the world where students are thriving and where the purpose and practice of education has shifted towards holistic student outcomes and developing students as leaders for a better future.

About the 2025 Forum

Guided by the Global Institute’s mission to advance global learning, connection, and leadership development for people around the world who are working to transform classrooms, schools, and systems to holistically develop all students, the Forum's aims are threefold:

Relationship Building

Foster deep connections among diverse stakeholders across contexts and systems to forge the bonds that will sustain and enable the cross-border learning and collective leadership needed to advance systemic change in education.

Collective Learning

Create a space for collaborative learning, exploration, and experimentation grounded in the questions:

How do we reorient the purpose of education to holistically develop students so they can shape a better future?
How do we shift practices and mindsets in classrooms, schools, systems, and ourselves toward this aim?
How do we develop the leadership and human capacity, at the individual and collective levels, needed to activate change and fuel lasting progress?

Agenda Setting

Provide space for global education stakeholders to consider, debate, and refine the agenda for accelerating progress.

In 2025, the inaugural Forum will leverage Singapore’s status as a global hub for learning and collaboration and engage Singapore's educators and regional partners to strengthen the learning and insights emerging from this global convening.
