As AI reshapes education, the 13th edition of ICTIEE embraces the theme “Transforming Teaching and Learning Ecosystems in the AI-Driven Era.” Building on IUCEE’s enduring mantra, “I am teaching… are they learning?” and over a decade of promoting student-centric education, this conference invites educators, students, researchers, and leaders to reimagine pedagogy for the future. With AI tools redefining engagement, assessment, and personalization, we must transform traditional classrooms into dynamic, inclusive learning ecosystems. ICTIEE 2026 will showcase innovations, research, and practices that ensure technology enhances—not replaces—the human touch in education, always keeping student learning at the centre.
