17th Education and Development Conference [EDC2022] is a three-day program, unlike most academic conferences. It brings together scholars, graduate students and professionals as well as NGO representatives and policymakers from across the world. EDC provides a comprehensive platform for learning and networking with global stakeholders and offers exposure to different perspectives on this very important aspect of our lives and, as such, important for the society as a whole. We believe that only by understanding perspectives of various stakeholders can we transform our ideas into sustainable solutions that will work for all.
