Past Symposia

Formerly held once every year since 2010, GCES Symposia are currently held once every two years in one of the member GCC countries to examine context-specific education issues in the Gulf region. They bring together educators, policymakers, and researchers who share a common interest in promoting education across systems, countries and the broader region.

Participation in the GCES Symposia has been growing steadily since the organization's inception. Over the past years, the GCES has grown to include more than 500 members from 20 different countries. As the society matures, its potential impact will continue to grow as relationships among members deepen and more research attention is focused on the region.
