Welcome to the International Conference on Urban Education 

Are you an educator, researcher, social worker, counselor, school psychologist, Pastor or faith-based official, health care professional, law enforcement/public safety official, business professional, community member or entrepreneur that is concerned about the education of youth in urban schools? The Urban Education Collaborative housed in the College of Education at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte welcomes you the website of the Biennial International Conference on Urban Education (ICUE). This solutions-based conference is a global gathering of people who want to see our youth in urban schools reach their full potential. We welcome you to consider serving as a sponsor or exhibitor or simply attend the conference to learn how you can make a difference.  

We are pleased to announce that the Atlantis Resort in Paradise Island (Nassau, Bahamas) will be the official conference hotel of the International Conference on Urban Education.
