2025 Agenda

Join education leaders and fellow educators at Bett Asia’s two-day programme, featuring the Leadership Summit, Classroom Theatre, and Tech User Labs. The Leadership Summit features the Plenary, where education leaders and decision-makers can learn about innovation in Southeast Asian education from high-level speakers to improve learner outcomes. The afternoon sessions will later split into K12 and HE & TVET streams where keynotes and presentations will focus on challenges and solutions for different levels of education.
On the expo floor is the Classroom Theatre where teachers can hear talks about the latest improvements to teaching and learning. New for 2025 are the Tech User Labs where educators can gain CPD by attending workshops showcasing how to use the latest cutting-edge tools and technology.
