CPD & Programme Information
This is a CPD-accredited programme, with a CPD certificate issued by The CPD Certification Service.
Please note: The programme is subject to change.
Why Schools Are Attending
Schools across Indonesia and the wider region face growing expectations from regulators, parents, governing bodies and communities to demonstrate educational quality through evidence and recognised standards.
Recognition Standards Are Increasing
Schools are increasingly expected to demonstrate externally verified quality and continuous improvement through recognised frameworks. ASIC is proud to be one of only four international accrediting bodies formally recognised by the Ministry under Ministerial Decree No. 73/O/2025.
Parent Expectations Continue to Rise
Families are more informed and more selective about safeguarding, wellbeing, academic outcomes and school quality. Schools increasingly need robust systems to evidence their strengths and identify priorities for improvement.
Sustainable Improvement Matters
The strongest schools build quality assurance into everyday practice rather than relying on periodic inspections or compliance exercises. Continuous improvement requires clear frameworks for reflection, evidence gathering and action planning.
What Your School Will Gain
Attending the ASIC Schools Conference 2026 is a practical investment in quality improvement.
Delegates will return with:
- A clearer pathway towards accreditation readiness
- Practical tools to support school improvement activity
- Self-evaluation frameworks and evidence examples
- Templates for leadership teams and quality assurance leads
- New professional connections across the sector
- A realistic 30-day improvement action plan
- Greater confidence in embedding a whole-school culture of quality
- Every session is designed around practical implementation rather than theory alone.
Conference Themes
The programme focuses on three core areas:
✅ Quality Assurance, Enhancement and Accreditation Readiness
✅ Leadership for Improvement
✅ Building Sustainable Standards Across the School Community
Sessions are designed to provide practical strategies, usable resources and actionable next steps that can be applied immediately back in school.

School owners and governors
Principals and heads of school
Deputy heads and senior leaders
