🎯 Conference Overview

The International Conference on Artificial Intelligence in Education (AIED 2026) is a premier global platform dedicated to examining how advanced technologies are reshaping education systems, policies, and practices. As education enters a new era defined by technological transformation, there is a pressing need to rethink how students learn, how teachers teach, and how education policy responds to emerging realities.

Intelligent technologies are revolutionizing education through personalized learning, intelligent tutoring systems, predictive analytics, curriculum reform, and decision-making support. Yet these opportunities come with critical challenges: equity, governance, ethics, inclusion, and teacher preparedness. Addressing these issues requires active engagement from scholars, policymakers, practitioners, and technology leaders.

Organized by the Center for Management and Development (CMD) – Rwanda, this conference will feature peer-reviewed paper presentations, keynotes, workshops, and policy dialogues. It seeks to generate research-driven insights, practical recommendations, and collaborative solutions that ensure technology strengthens education as a driver of development and equity.
