Heads and principals of more than 2,000 schools affiliated with the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) will meet in Chandigarh for a two-day summit aimed at charting the future of education. The 68th Annual General Meeting (AGM) will include in-depth discussions on emerging trends and strategic planning for school education. The event also marks the presentation of the prestigious Derozio Awards 2025 and the launch of eight key policy documents designed to steer CISCE schools toward greater academic excellence and social relevance.
Key Agenda: Education Trends, Awards & Policy Releases
Organisers say the AGM will focus on future-ready school practices, strengthening administrative systems, and building a more inclusive pedagogy across the CISCE network. According to CISCE officials, the conference will include thematic sessions, interactive presentations, and round-table consultations. A major highlight of the event is the Derozio Awards 2025, which will recognise outstanding contributions in the field of education. These awards have a long legacy of celebrating educators and administrators who demonstrate innovation and commitment. Simultaneously, CISCE will publish eight new policy documents, including handbooks and resource materials crafted to support academic standards, teacher training, and collaborative learning practices.
Notable Speakers and Strategic Vision
Ashok Mittal, Member of Parliament and educationist, is scheduled to deliver the inaugural address at the AGM. On the second day, Justice Vikramjit Sen, former Supreme Court judge, will be the chief guest. According to Joseph Emmanuel, Chief Executive and Secretary of CISCE, the board’s roadmap aims to “empower schools with enriched curricula, inclusive practices and robust training systems.” He added that the goal is to build actionable strategies by fostering collaborative networks across the CISCE school ecosystem.
Why This Summit Matters for School Education
In a rapidly evolving education landscape, CISCE’s AGM comes at a critical moment. With technology, globalisation, and student-centered learning shaping the future, CISCE schools are positioning themselves to be adaptive and forward-thinking. The release of new policy documents is expected to act as a blueprint for school administrators, guiding them in building stronger learning environments. The Derozio Awards further affirm CISCE’s commitment to recognising excellence and innovation in education. By bringing together leaders from across its network, CISCE aims to drive a culture of collaboration rather than isolated efforts — an approach likely to benefit both teachers and students in the long run.
