On Monday, 20th January 2025, London became the focal point for a transformative conversation that may well shape the future of global education.

This landmark meeting marked the launch of EDCOP (Education COP), a groundbreaking initiative with ambitions to redefine how nations collaborate on education policy and innovation in the face of rapid technological change.
