CALL FOR PAPER

 

The Asia Pacific Conference in Educational Management and Leadership (APCEMaL) invites scholars, educators, policymakers, and practitioners to explore the dynamic intersection of leadership, innovation, and sustainability in education. Under the main theme Leading Through Value and Innovation for Sustainability, the conference provides a platform for meaningful dialogue on how education leaders can foster ethical, forward-thinking, and transformative change across educational settings in the Asia Pacific region and beyond.

​

Value and innovation for sustainability in educational leadership refer to a dual focus on ethical, purpose-driven decision-making (value) and creative, forward-looking practices (innovation) that contribute to the long-term well-being of learners, institutions, and communities (sustainability). In today’s fast-changing world, educational leaders need to balance tradition with new thinking. They must find ways to improve learning, support teachers, and manage schools effectively while also thinking about the long-term impact on people and the environment.
