Bett Asia explores the cutting edge technologies in global classrooms and institutions, layered against the real needs of teachers and leaders. The summit has put Asian College of Teachers on a global platform, strengthening its position in Asia and establishing the fact that ACT has made a mark in the teacher training sector. ACT’s efforts have been recognised which is to provide quality teacher training to all aspiring/ experienced teachers across the globe and prepare them with adequate knowledge and skills to deliver 21st century learning. The 2-day event themed “Building a change culture to deliver 21st century learning” matched perfectly with ACT’s idea of preparing global educators. The morning keynotes were delivered by high-level speakers and was followed by afternoon breakout streams of workshops, demonstrations, discussions and presentations. This was indeed, another feather in the cap of ACT.
