The Principals Academy first introduced the Asia-Pacific Educational Assessment Conference (APEAC) in 2013, establishing a transformative platform for advancing the educational community’s understanding of assessment. Held biennially, APEAC has become a beacon of insight and innovation, continuously evolving to address the pressing needs of educators across the region.
The 7th Asia-Pacific Educational Assessment Conference (APEAC2025), themed “Assessment of 21st Century Competencies: Empowering Future-Ready Educators and Learners,” aims to elevate the assessment skills of educators and school leaders in assessing critical 21st-century competencies, such as creativity, critical thinking, collaboration, and self-regulation. This year’s theme emphasizes the shift from traditional content-based assessments to more holistic, authentic evaluations that prepare both educators and learners for the demands of an increasingly complex and interconnected world.
APEAC2025 will delve into the latest trends and global best practices in competency-based assessment, exploring how innovative approaches can be integrated into diverse educational settings. The keynotes will be divided into three strands to offer focused insights:
-
Assessing 21st Century Competencies – Exploring the new frontiers in evaluating competencies essential for the future.
-
Assessing Using AI and Tech Tools – Unpacking the role of AI and technology in enhancing assessment practices.
-
Assessing Whole Person Learning – Understanding the importance of holistic assessment in nurturing well-rounded learners
Whether participants are new to assessment or experienced professionals, the conference offers tailored learning experiences to deepen their understanding and expand their repertoire of strategies for measuring and supporting 21st-century learning outcomes.
Designed for school leaders, teachers, academics, and researchers from Singapore and the wider Asia-Pacific region, APEAC2025 serves as a platform for sharing success stories, gaining insights from pioneering educators, and discovering strategies to apply these practices within their own contexts. The conference will feature internationally acclaimed speakers and thought leaders, who will share their expertise through keynote presentations, interactive master classes, and focused spotlight sessions.
Beyond the engaging sessions, APEAC2025 provides a unique opportunity to network with peers, connect with seasoned practitioners, and exchange ideas with experts from around the globe. It is a space where educational assessment is reimagined, and the collective vision for empowering future-ready educators and learners is refined.
Don’t miss the chance to be part of APEAC2025, where we come together to shape the future of educational assessment for the 21st century.
