In a significant step toward strengthening global academic collaboration, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has successfully hosted its first International Sahodaya Conference in Dubai, marking a major milestone in India’s education outreach beyond national borders.
The landmark conference brought together school leaders, educators, and academic stakeholders from India, the Middle East, and other international regions, with a shared focus on innovation, leadership, and collaborative learning practices in schools. The event reflects CBSE’s growing commitment to fostering global partnerships and enhancing the quality of education through cross-border engagement.
Held in Dubai, a major global education hub, the conference served as a platform for dialogue on emerging trends in schooling, including curriculum innovation, student well-being, digital transformation, and leadership development. Experts emphasized the importance of collaboration among schools to prepare students for a rapidly changing global environment.
CBSE officials highlighted that the Sahodaya conference model, traditionally implemented within India to encourage peer learning among schools, is now being expanded internationally to strengthen cooperation between CBSE-affiliated institutions worldwide. The move aligns with CBSE’s broader vision of promoting best practices, knowledge exchange, and global competencies among educators and students.
“The internationalization of the Sahodaya platform is a natural progression,” education leaders noted, adding that such initiatives help schools adopt global perspectives while staying rooted in strong academic values.
The conference also featured keynote sessions, panel discussions, and interactive workshops led by senior educators and education experts. Topics ranged from leadership in multicultural school environments to integrating technology responsibly in classrooms.
Participants welcomed the initiative, calling it a timely and impactful step toward building a connected global school community. Many expressed optimism that the international Sahodaya platform would encourage sustained collaboration, professional development, and shared innovation across CBSE schools worldwide.
With the successful hosting of its first international Sahodaya conference, CBSE has reinforced its position as a forward-looking education board, committed to nurturing global dialogue, academic excellence, and future-ready education.
