The primary objective of TEDMEM is to contribute to a more prosperous future for all children within the nation. Prioritizing the implementation of education policies aimed at enabling children to realize their potential regardless of their circumstances into which they are born, stands at the forefront of TEDMEM's agenda.

Diverging from conventional paradigms in educational policymaking, TEDMEM’s focus extends beyond the issues currently on the education system's agenda, encompassing issues that merit attention and should be on the agenda. TEDMEM embraces a forward-looking perspective that integrates future with present and international trends with our cultural heritage.
