Annual SICI

meeting

General assembly

Each November, SICI's General Assembly convenes, bringing together members for a 2-3 day event hosted by one of its members. This gathering is more than a meeting—it’s a vibrant forum for discussing pressing educational and inspection issues, sharing innovative practices, and highlighting the host inspectorate’s unique contributions.

At the core of the General Assembly is a powerful blend of collaboration and governance. Representatives from all members come together to review the year’s activities, address financial matters, ratify proposals, and elect members to the Executive Committee. This structured yet collaborative approach ensures that SICI remains responsive to its members' evolving needs, while adhering to the principles established in its founding statutes.

Join us at the General Assembly and be part of the conversations that shape the future of educational inspection, set strategic directions, and foster a global community dedicated to excellence in education. The insights, connections, and decisions made here help pave the way for a brighter educational landscape, driven by our shared commitment to continuous improvement and innovation.
