Sikh Education Conference
Roadmap for the Next Decade
Almost 100 years ago, members of the Chief Khalsa Diwan found it critical to bring Sikh sangats together to revive
Panjabi and discuss key challenges in Sikh Education.
Along with channelizing the Chief Khalsa Diwan’s work on behalf of Panjabi, the Sikh Educational Conference did
much to promote Western-style education among Sikhs. Its annual sessions rotating from town to town were always
occasions for considerable public fervor. They were largely attended and, besides discussion of the problems of Sikh
education, they comprised religious sessions as well as competitions of Sikh kirtan and poetry.
The Sikh Research Institute brings to you with the same spirit the 3rd Sikh Education Conference of North America.
Over the last several years teachers and administrators at Gurmat and Panjabi schools have craved a network in
which they can share their teaching styles, knowledge base, and passion for Sikhi Education. The Sikh Education
Conference will kick off the Sikh Educators Network(SEN) to facilitate this need for the community.
