Welcome


Introduction

We are pleased to announce that the Asia Leadership Roundtable (ALR) 2025 will be held on May 23-26, 2025, in Shanghai, China. ALR 2025 will be hosted by East China Normal University and co-sponsored by the Asia Pacific Center for Leadership and Change (APCLC) of The Education University of Hong Kong (EdUHK).

Theme and Purpose
This year's Roundtable theme is "Technology in School Leadership and Learning". The Roundtable brings together by invitation 60+ renowned regional and international education scholars, practitioners, and policymakers. They come together this year to:

  To examine emerging issues for leading schools in the Asia Pacific region;
  To share cutting-edge findings from global research and practice in educational leadership;
  To provide regional scholars with opportunities for skill development in teaching and research from world-class scholars; and
  To strengthen and expand the existing network of educational leadership scholars in the Asia Pacific region.


The theme will be addressed through keynote addresses, panel discussions, roundtable discussions, and reaction sessions. We look forward to welcoming everyone to Shanghai for this important endeavor. We expect the outcomes to contribute to the formation of a dynamic, future-oriented educational leadership and management research agenda to help guide our ongoing partnerships and work.

* Participants come from Mainland China, Chile, Hong Kong, India, Taiwan, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa, Vietnam, Australia, Israel, Oman, Germany, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, and the United States.
