Hanoi (VNA) –The use of independent agencies for the evaluation of education systems is a necessity for ASEAN member countries, said the participants at the 2 nd ASEAN Education Forum in Hanoi on Nov. 19.
Regional differences in educational targets and requirements make the assessment of the quality of education more difficult, they said.
The application of information technology is the best way to bridge the gaps between nations, according to experts attending the forum, hailing from the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) members nations, as well as non-members.
They also recommended that the region’s governments increase the engagement of non-state educational sectors in order to help relieve the burden on state budgets and achieve the goal of “education for all.”
Taking the theme of “Linking knowledge bridges in ASEAN – Education for all”, the forum focused on creating an ASEAN education space, developing a regional verifying system, improving competitiveness in education, as well as numerous other issues.-Enditem
