EiM Education Advisory Board convenes inaugural summit at Dulwich College (Singapore) to equip international school leaders with the tools to navigate AI with rigour and confidence

SINGAPORE, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Education in Motion (EiM), the global education group whose family of schools includes Dulwich College International and other leading schools in the UK, Switzerland and across China, today announced that its Education Advisory Board (EAB) held its inaugural summit and Board meeting in Singapore on 27-28 April 2026 — fulfilling a commitment made at the Board's launch in September 2025 and marking a significant moment in EiM's group-wide strategy on artificial intelligence in education.

The summit, hosted at Dulwich College (Singapore), counts among its participants former presidents of Yale, Oxford, New York University, and Rice University alongside one of the world's foremost authorities on AI in education, University College London's Professor Emerita Rose Luckin — a distinguished gathering of academic leadership convening around the question of AI's role in schools.

Approximately 40 educational experts attended, including school heads from across EiM's global network, the group's central education team, and teacher representatives from each school. The summit is the centrepiece of a three-day programme that includes the EAB's first in-person meeting and EiM's annual Blue-Sky Conference for Heads of schools.

School leaders worldwide are navigating a landscape increasingly transformed by the possibilities of AI, and EiM's approach puts students at the heart of every decision and places technology in the service of pedagogy. EiM's vision for harnessing new technologies is evidence-based, seeking out new tools and technologies that have demonstrated their ability to positively shape educational outcomes for students and prepare them for an, as yet, unwritten future.

Facing the promise that new technologies offer, EiM is holding this summit — designed not to find solutions to the role of AI in education, but to build the capacity of its school leaders to think clearly and act wisely.

Professor Rose Luckin led a half-day workshop that addresses how LLMs work in an educational context and what that means for schools considering their adoption in an environment where educators prioritize putting students first.

"School leaders are being asked to make important decisions about the role of AI within their institutions faced with both incomplete information about their benefits yet high hopes about the promise of these new technologies," said Professor Luckin. "The goal of this summit is not to tell them what to think, but to give them the tools to think clearly — to distinguish genuine evidence from commercial noise, and to make decisions that will serve their students well not just for this year, but for the decade to come."

The choice of Singapore as the location for the EAB's inaugural summit reflects both EiM's presence through Dulwich College (Singapore) and the city-state's own standing as a global hub for education and technology.

The spirit of harnessing innovative technologies for improved social and educational outcomes that animates the summit is also the spirit in which Dulwich College (Singapore) embarked on the construction of The Greenhouse – its net-zero energy, seven-storey multi-purpose extension completed in 2023, and host to the EAB summit. The Greenhouse includes a 400-seat multi-purpose auditorium, a STEAM workshop, a professional teaching kitchen, film and media suites, and three blackbox theatres. Notably, The Greenhouse is also the first international school building in Singapore to be certified Green Mark Platinum Zero Energy by the Building and Construction Authority of Singapore meaning that the energy it generates from renewable sources equals or exceeds the total energy it consumes annually.

A Board of Extraordinary Distinction

The EiM Education Advisory Board was launched in September 2025 to bring leading experts voices to bear on the future of learning. The Board is co-chaired by:

• Richard Levin, Frederick William Beinecke Professor of Economics Emeritus at Yale University, Yale President from 1993 to 2013; and subsequently Chief Executive Officer of Coursera; and
• Lesley Meyer, Chief Education Officer of EiM, with more than 35 years of international school leadership experience.

Additional members include:

• Professor Rose Luckin, Professor Emerita, University College London — world-leading researcher on artificial intelligence in education and founder of Educate Ventures Research
• David Leebron, former President of Rice University and former Dean of Columbia Law School
• Dr Andrew Hamilton, former Vice Chancellor of the University of Oxford and former President of New York University
• Doris Sohmen-Pao, former trustee of Princeton University and Director of MBA Programmes at INSEAD and NUS

"The question for education is not whether to engage with AI, but how — and that requires the kind of careful, evidence-based thinking that has always distinguished truly outstanding schools," said Richard Levin. "This summit is an opportunity to model that thinking, and to ensure that EiM's schools lead rather than simply follow."

"When we launched the Education Advisory Board, we made a commitment to convene the world's best thinkers around the questions that matter most for education," said Lesley Meyer. "Bringing this Board to Singapore for our first summit — focused on AI, the defining challenge of this moment in education — is a statement of our intent to shape this important conversation."

Groundbreaking programme will deliver a scalable AI framework, school-based research pilots, teacher playbooks, and ethical governance integrated with EiM's digital ecosystem to support students in an AI world.

SINGAPORE, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Education in Motion (EiM), a global leader in pioneering educational excellence, today announced a new AI in education initiative in partnership with Dr Rose Luckin, Professor Emeritus at University College London, world-renowned expert on AI use in education.

Led by EiM's Chief Innovation Officer Crispian Farrow and supported by Professor Rose Luckin's consultancy Educate Ventures Research, which aims to help organisations leverage AI, this initiative builds on EiM's existing digital ecosystem to pilot new use cases designed to more deeply understand the impact of AI on teaching and learning. These cases will not only look at effectively applying new technology in curriculum, but also clarify the strategic purpose behind such integration: advancing human-centred learning, ethical practice, and academic rigour in the age of AI. Taken together, these measures will enable students, staff and the wider community to work with tools augmented by AI ensuring responsible, safe and equitable use.

Through real-world, in-school application, the programme will deliver a scalable AI framework for all EiM schools – which includes the network of Dulwich College International schools; an enhanced understanding of how to best apply AI in education approaches; a practical, research-based AI playbook for teachers; and an age-differentiated curriculum designed for AI literacy and mastery, while cultivating critical thinking.

"AI is moving fast, but excellence demands discernment," said Lesley Meyer, Chief Education Officer at EiM. "Our aim is not to chase tools, but to strengthen the human heart of education — critical thinking, creativity, empathy — while holding firm to academic standards. This initiative ensures AI serves teaching, integrity, and student wellbeing."

"This is an operational roadmap with guardrails," said Crispian Farrow, Chief Innovation Officer at EiM. "By combining school-based research pilots, rigorous evaluation of impact, and an evidence-based AI playbook for teachers, we'll further integrate AI with our ecosystem in ways that are secure, compliant, and demonstrably valuable. Every school will contribute evidence so we can scale what works and avoid what doesn't."

"I am truly impressed by what I have seen at EiM so far: it has already understood that effective AI in education must be ethical, evidence-informed, and focused on learning," said Professor Rose Luckin.

"We will build a framework that tests assumptions, measures impact and supports teachers — refining an approach that is rigorous, equitable and scalable," added Dr Madiha Khan, Director of Research & Consultancy at Educate Ventures Research.

Phase one includes teacher competency development in the digital domain, an AI critical thinking framework across age bands, data and impact-evaluation protocols, and monthly consultation clinics to support implementation. Dr Luckin is also a member of the EiM Education Advisory Board, announced in September, which will provide additional insight and oversight.

"We are assembling a range of world leading assets to help us shape the future of learning" added Meyer. "EiM has the vision, infrastructure and values to lead the sector, and by drawing on resources like the expertise of our Education Advisory Boardwe are preparing young people to thrive in an AI-shaped world by combining bold innovation with academic rigour and ethical purpose."

A collaboration between Dulwich College (Singapore) and Ranjit Murugason — a Fellow of the College, Founding Chairman of the Board of Trustees (2014–2025), Old Alleynian, and parent — the Sustainability Fund embodies the College's vision to Live Worldwise and nurtures compassionate global citizens ready to make a positive difference in the world.

SINGAPORE, Oct. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Leading global education group Education in Motion (EiM) and the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC) are celebrating a decade of partnership that draws on more than 400 years of Dulwich College heritage with EiM's pioneering, holistic education across its schools, including the Dulwich College International network.

Since launching in 2016 with the Dulwich international schools, and later extending to all Dulwich and Dehong schools in the EiM network, the partnership has brought the transformative power of theatre to thousands of students. Signature initiatives – including the network-wide Worldwise Shakespeare Festival, touring practitioner residencies, teacher professional development, RSC teacher certification programmes, and exclusive access to RSC performances worldwide – nurture confidence, creativity, empathy, resilience, and a lifelong love of language and the arts.

Founded in Stratford-upon-Avon, the birthplace of William Shakespeare, for decades the RSC has connected global audiences to the works of Shakespeare and his contemporaries through world-class productions featuring acclaimed actors such as Ian McKellen, Ben Kingsley, Helen Mirren, and Ralph Fiennes.

Dulwich College in London was founded by William Shakespeare's theatrical contemporary, Edward Alleyn and both were leading lights of Elizabethan theatre. Alleyn left documents to the College that are recognised globally as being the most significant archive related to Shakespeare's world. The collection even includes a rare First Folio and legal documents that describe how London theatres in Shakespeare's time ran. Dulwich College is regularly visited by academics, directors and actors keen to research the world of the Jacobean theatre.

"Our pioneering spirit and commitment to whole-child education, coupled with the RSC's expertise in performance and storytelling, creates extraordinary opportunities for our students to develop character and skills for life," said Lesley Meyer, Chief Education Officer at EiM. "This partnership is a testament to our belief that the performing arts are essential to a world-class education."

"Through this partnership, young people gain confidence, develop their creativity and a deeper appreciation of language while building essential skills like teamwork, problem-solving and public speaking," said Jacqui O'Hanlon, the Royal Shakespeare Company's Deputy Executive Director. "But alongside those essential skills for life and work, Shakespeare's plays and arts experiences matter because they are about how we become more human; they are about how we learn to make sense of ourselves, each other and the world. It's incredibly exciting to celebrate 10 years of making those kinds of learning outcomes possible together." 

Edgar Zillmann, Head of Events and Educational Partnerships at EiM, who has overseen the partnership since its inception, said, "Since 2016, we have brought together tens of thousands of students, teachers, and parents across our family of schools, helping our students build connections, confidence, leadership, self-expression – all essential skills for the 21st century."

The partnership's 10th anniversary will be marked at the 2025 Worldwise Shakespeare Festival, co-hosted by Dulwich College Suzhou and Dulwich International High School Programme Suzhou this October. Located in Suzhou, also known as the "Venice of China", the celebration will include a large-scale public performance in one of the region's most state-of-the-art theatres, with RSC practitioners set to perform for EiM students for the first time.

About the Royal Shakespeare Company (RSC)

The Royal Shakespeare Company's mission is to bring people together to experience stories that deepen our understanding of ourselves, each other and the world around us, and that bring joy. Shakespeare's restless exploration of all of human nature is our inspiration and touchstone.   

The Company's roots lie in the bold vision of a local brewer, Edward Fordham Flower, who in 1879 established a theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon with his son Charles. The RSC as we know it today was formed by Sir Peter Hall, whose ambition was to produce new plays alongside those of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. We continue this today across our three permanent theatres in Stratford – the Royal Shakespeare Theatre, the Swan Theatre and The Other Place – and indeed online and around the globe. We believe everybody's life can be enriched by culture and creativity. Our transformative Creative Learning and Engagement programmes reach over half a million young people and adults each year.
