The Vision

"A world where every student is empowered through education to thrive in the digital era."

Message from Chairperson

Chairperson Tonegawa

AI is transforming our societies at an unprecedented pace. While every country’s education system is striving to keep up, the speed and approach differ widely.

After leading Code for Everyone for ten years in Japan and engaging with international education leaders, I have learned that the most effective way to move forward is to learn from countries that have started earlier, and adapt their experiences to their own context.

ICSEC will serve as a community of international education leaders who learn from each other, share their insights, and collectively envision “a world where every student is empowered through education to thrive in the digital era.”

By sharing our successes and lessons learned. We can help the next generation of education leaders adapt build systems that support learned within their own cultural environment.
