The inaugural Global Forum for Shaping a Better Future took place from April 7-9 in Singapore. A new annual convening, the Forum is organized by the Global Institute for Shaping a Better Future, an initiative of Teach For All that will be a center of global learning, evidence-generation, and leadership development for people around the world who are working to support classrooms, schools, and systems to develop all students holistically so that they can shape a better future. 

Designed to bring together education ecosystem leaders from around the world to connect and learn from each other, the Forum engaged nearly 200 attendees from across five continents including students, educators, researchers, civil society, government, and multilateral institutions, and philanthropists. All visionary leaders and changemakers in their own education contexts, the participants shared insights and innovations aimed at shifting the purpose and practices of education systems toward holistic student outcomes, and considered together the global agenda for strengthening these systems.

The 2025 Global Forum was made possible through the generous support of the Arena Foundation, =DreamsAsia, the Asia Community Foundation, and Grab.
