Dr Peter Shukie delivers insightful workshop at the Ascentis National Conference

Ascentis was proud to host our annual National Conference in November. The event proved to be a resounding success, drawing attendees from across the education sector.

A highlight of the conference was the insightful workshop delivered by Dr Peter Shukie titled "Empower or Exclude - How We Respond to the Double-Edged Sword of Technology in Social-Justice Education". Dr Shukie's presentation sparked lively discussions and provided attendees with valuable insights into the complex relationship between technology and social justice in education.

The Ascentis National Conference served as a platform for professionals to connect, share best practices and explore the latest trends in education. The event reinforced our commitment to providing high-quality qualifications and supporting the professional development of educators.
