Republic of Mali Considered as a Potential Host Location for the Global Forum

On 8 February 2019, Evgeny Baranovsky, Chair of the Organising Committee of the World Forum of the Best Teachers, held a phone conversation with Ms. Assetou Foune Samake Migan, Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research of the Republic of Mali.

The main topic of discussion was the possibility of hosting the sixth venue of the Global Forum in Mali.

Minister Samake Migan officially expressed her strong support for the idea and confirmed the Ministry’s readiness to provide:

  • a venue for hosting the forum’s events,

  • visa support for international participants,

  • security guarantees,

  • and the selection of a delegation of 10 outstanding teachers from Mali to participate in the Forum.

Following the conversation, Evgeny Baranovsky stated:

“For the Republic of Mali, hosting the sixth venue of the Global Forum is a powerful opportunity. It will bring the best teachers from across the continent and global education leaders to the country — an event that will undoubtedly elevate the level of teacher training in Mali to new heights.”

The Organising Committee sincerely thanks the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research of Mali for its openness to cooperation and looks forward to moving ahead with this strategic initiative on the African continent.
