About HEC 2025

In the wake of the unprecedented disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the global education landscape stands at a crossroads. The pandemic has reshaped the way we think about education. From the rapid transition to online learning to the profound impacts on student mental health, educators and policymakers have grappled with an array of complex issues. This conference provides a unique platform to examine the lessons learned and chart a course for the future.

HEC 2025 will address many of the most important contemporary themes and questions. For example, what can we learn from the pandemic about the effective use of technology in education? How can we ensure that all students have equal access to quality education, regardless of their socioeconomic background? What strategies can be implemented to support mental health within educational institutions? When considering insights into innovative teaching methods that emerged during the pandemic. how can these approaches enhance the learning experience in a post-COVID world? In the analysis of policy responses at local, national, and international levels, what has worked? What hasn’t worked and what can we do better to prepare for future crises?

With the theme of  ‘Navigating the Path Forward’, the 2nd Honolulu Education Conference encourages academics, educators, researchers, administrators and other professionals from around the world to submit abstracts in English on topics related to education of research done, or proposed research.
