If you believe that education is the most powerful means to change the world, then you will also agree that the people who pave the way to create such change are the teachers.

APEID-UNESCO and the Ministry of Education of Thailand organized a joint event, the 4^th World Teachers' Day in Thailand and the 12^th UNESCO-APEID International Conference, to honour teachers who have worked hard to educate generations of children, youth and adults but have asked little in return for their efforts. The theme, Quality Innovations for Teaching and Learning, highlighted the importance of teacher education and provide a forum for policy makers, educators, teachers, academicians and researchers to discuss, exchange information and learn from each other on how we can teach and learn - in a more innovative way - with our heads, hearts and hands to ensure a sustainable future.
