Description: This Open access book consists of the proceedings of the Institute for the Future of Education (IFE) Conference 2026. The contributions therein showcase the distinctive innovations emerging from Latin America, challenging the traditionally North-centric narratives in educational research and spotlighting the region's unique strengths and perspectives.

This book enables readers to gain an understanding of how educational innovations are uniquely implemented and sustained in Latin America and other similar regions. It provides practical insights and evidence-based strategies adaptable to similar socio-economic contexts, empowering educators and policymakers to implement practical changes in their own settings. By highlighting successful South-to-South initiatives and integrating advanced technologies like AI, this book fosters a more inclusive and diverse dialogue on educational innovation.
