LEARNTECH eXCELS

WHAT IS LEARNTECH?

The LEARNTECH Initiative of SEAMEO INNOTECH aims to upgrade the Centre’s capability in the field testing, incubation and dissemination of prototype educational technologies, programs and delivery systems for transfer and diffusion to the countries of Southeast Asia.

WHAT IS LEARNTECH eXCELS?

eXCELS or  “Excellence in School Leadership for Southeast Asia” is a pilot project of SEAMEO INNOTECH under the  LEARNTECH Initiative. As the name suggests, it aims to promote excellence in school leadership within the SEAMEO member countries of Southeast Asia. It pursues this goal by working cooperatively with National Partner Institutions to develop and implement a flexible, multi-modal learning program for school heads that can be used in a range of technology environments within their respective countries. During its pilot phase eXCELS will be implemented in selected sites in three SEAMEO member countries - Cambodia, the Philippines and Vietnam.

WHY IS LEARNTECH eXCELS NEEDED?

LEARNTECH eXCELS is in line with the World Education Forum’s goal of “improving all aspects of the quality of education and ensuring excellence of all so that measurable learning outcomes are achieved by all.” Cambodia, the Philippines and Vietnam are all improving their education systems to adjust to developing environments and circumstances. A major component of improving educational systems is to train school heads and expand their capabilities as leaders for the school and community. SEAMEO INNOTECH envisions eXCELS as the training tool that builds on the existing skills of school heads so that they become more confident, competent and excellent school leaders.
