MALAYSIA'S EDUCATION INTIATIVES WELL RECEIVED
From Haslinda Zainal
CEBU, Jan 27 (Bernama) -- Malaysia's education initiatives have created a lot of interest at the 45th Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organisation (Seameo) senior officials meeting here Tuesday.
Malaysian Education Ministry secretary-general Dr Zulkurnain Awang
said Malaysia's foray especially in ensuring that no one was left out from the
education system was well received by Asean member countries.
"We have our own strengths that we can share with other Asean countries.
They are interested to know about our education initiatives," he told reporters
after attending the Seameo senior officials meeting here.
The three-hour meeting was also attended by Deputy Prime Minister
Muhyiddin Yassin.
Zulkurnain said Asean member countries would like to use Malaysia's
education initiatives especially on learning and teachers' welfare as a guide in
their educational development.
"One of our initiatives is to bridge the education divide between rural and
urban areas. No countries have a comprehensive plan like Malaysia in ensuring
education for all," he added.
The Seameo conference starting Wednesday will deliberate on a report on the
Asean University Network and the Asean school resource material while a policy
forum will dabble on a paper entitled “Understanding the Vital Pathways for
Future Learning”.
The Seameo secretariat based in Bangkok will present a report on the
implementation of the “Seameo Collaborative Project to Reach the Unreached in
Southeast Asian Countries and Achieve Education For All (EFA) Goals by 2015.
Filipino education secretary Jesli Lapus will open the Seameo conference at
The Marquee, Shangri-La Hotel, Cebu.
