SEAMEO INNOTECH 10th International Conference

Secondary education is often tagged as the 'weak link' in the basic education cycle in Southeast Asia. With the expanding enrollments brought about by gains in universalizing access to primary education, the spotlight is now being focused on secondary education as the crucial link between primary education on the one hand, and tertiary education and the world of work on the other.

SEAMEO INNOTECH recognizes this actuality; one major reason for training the spotlight this year on creating endless possibilities in secondary education as the theme for its 10th international conference.

Held in November 2006, the conference served as a venue for sharing and examining on-going discourse on the issues and challenges facing secondary education in Southeast Asia. It highlighted and promoted understanding of successful secondary education models, as well as alternative learning modalities for secondary education. Similarly, the conference served as a platform for exploring and probing possibilities of enrichign secondary school partnership and collaboration with community stakeholders.

The conference is held every two years to provide a venue for interaction among Southeast Asian educators and their counterparts from the rest of the world.
