Cambridge English convenes Asia Pacific leaders to accelerate action on AI in education

The Summit brought together Ministries of Education, school leaders, and Cambridge English Educational Partners to advance English language education in the age of AI.

Held on 23 and 24 April 2026, the summit focused on practical implementation across policy, institutions, and classrooms. Discussions addressed how AI can be applied to teaching, learning, and assessment, alongside the need to strengthen teachers' capabilities and deliver measurable outcomes at scale.

As part of the University of Cambridge, Cambridge English combines research, assessment expertise, and learning solutions to support learners and teachers at every stage. The organisation reinforced its role as a trusted partner to education systems through its commitment to helping educators deliver quality teaching and enabling learners to progress with confidence in an evolving landscape.

Through its global research and academic expertise, Cambridge English continues to lead thought leadership in English language education. The summit served as a platform to share evidence-based insights and practical approaches to guide policymakers and institutions.

Two major milestones were delivered. The Cambridge English white paper on AI in language education provides research-led insights to guide policy and practice. The Cambridge Teacher’s Hub introduces a structured platform to support continuous professional development for teachers.

Cambridge English works with our partners through integrated approaches that deliver measurable outcomes for learners."

Regional speakers from Malaysia, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Thailand shared national perspectives and implementation at system and school levels, reinforcing the role of Integrated Learning and Assessment in supporting learner progression.
