On behalf of the International Confederation of Principals (ICP) and the National Training Centre for Secondary School Principals (NTCSSP) we would like to thank you for joining us in Shanghai from Wednesday 23rd until Friday 25th, October 2019 for the 14th Biennial Convention of the International Confederation of Principals.
ICP and NTCSSP were excited to be bringing together school principals from around the world to China for the very first time. We met at East China Normal University (Putuo), Shanghai where a vibrant national and international program had been developed to connect with the convention theme of ‘Connecting Leaders, Creating the Future.’
The convention program provided opportunities for school leaders to network, collaborate and share practice that will enhance outcomes for students from across the globe. This unique event promoted global co-operation.
As this was the first ICP event held in China, we were delighted that through our affiliate association NTCSSP and the co-operation of the Ministry of Education and East China Normal University that this was the first ever held on a University Campus. This unique collaboration will no doubt raise the bar of the quality of knowledge, skills and expertise participants gained from attendance.
Thank you for joining us.

The ICP is the only global association that brings together the representatives of school principals organisations from all over the world to discuss the challenges facing school leaders wherever they work.
ICP was established in 1990 by Principal Associations from 10 countries - Australia, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Japan, The Netherlands, USSR, United Kingdom and United States of America - as the peak global organisation for principals. Today ICP reaches out across four regions of the globe.
ICP is non political and non sectoral with members from government and non government sectors and from primary and secondary schools.
