3 Days. 1 Urgent Question.
How do we prepare young people not just for success, but for adulthood?
The Adulthood Deficit
Inside Out · Outside In
Young people today are academically prepared, digitally connected and highly ambitious. Yet many continue to struggle with resilience, relationships, responsibility, decision-making and the demands of adult life.
The TAISI Conference 2026 brings together school leaders, educators, global education organisations and influential thinkers to examine the widening gap between academic achievement and adult readiness—and to explore what schools can meaningfully do about it.

A question that matters:
Are schools preparing students to succeed, or to truly navigate life?

It is designed not just to inform, but to shift how school leaders think about learning, readiness, and responsibility.
