Background

Since the start of the pandemic in late 2019, COVID-19 has not only huge impacts on the educational landscape but also the overall living aspects of youths worldwide. At present, 1.7 Billion learners all over the world have been impacted by school closures1 and remote learning has been a lifeline for learning. With lockdowns, enhanced quarantine measures, and school closures, everyone is affected and concerns are mounting up on the unintended effects of school closures to learning in every level and quality of the youth’s lives, especially psychosocial and mental stress.

One of many responses that SEAMEO has initiated in the time of pandemic is SEAMEO Ministerial Policy e-Forum on COVID-19 Response on 18 June 2020 to broadcast the policies and responses of Ministries of Education in Southeast Asia to the pandemic. During the e-forum, the Ministers put forward the commitments through the Joint Statement and one of the commitments is to be united in the fight of pandemic and appreciate the efforts of stakeholders in education sectors to innovate and evolve in the unprecedented time2. The Ministers of Education further recommended the SEAMEO Secretariat and its Units (the SEAMEO Centres and Network) to sustain the achievements gained in the fight against COVID-19 disruption to improve learning outcomes.3 Creating a platform for Southeast Asian Youth (15-25 years) to showcase their experiences in dealing with the impacts of COVID-19 on their lives in creative and innovative ways is aligned with the Ministerial recommendation on the role of SEAMEO to enhance the youth’s learning capacities.

In line with SEAMEO’s motto “leading through learning”, SEAMEO prioritized learning in every way in- and outside of the classroom. SEAMEO sees that the wellbeing of Youth as a person is not less important than the quality and access to education. Therefore, in order to gain insights into the youth well-being and learning situation in the region during the COVID-19 pandemic, SEAMEO Secretariat conducted a survey to identify the impacts of the pandemic on Southeast Asian youth (15-25 years). Apart from Health and Resources' concerns, 47.67% of youth expressed that they experienced psychosocial and mental stress and they would like to seek social and mental health support. 4

Interestingly, while the majority of the respondents at 36.96% reported that they were facing challenges and difficulties in education and career, 17.12% reported that they had a positive outlook and the emergency situation urged them to improve themselves. Only 7.89% said that they lacked skills and felt depressed about the situation. Additionally, the youth’s positive outlook reflected on the surveyed top 3 greatest lessons learnt by youth, which are staying healthy (34.21%), having faith and positive attitude (23.80%), and prioritizing self-developing and time managing (12.09%). 5 Even though the majority of Southeast Asian youths have experienced psychosocial and mental stress, they were able to handle and remained optimistic.

Building on the survey, the further question to be addressed is how the youth could handle a situation which they said have disheartened them with optimism and positive outlooks. In conjunction with its 55th Anniversary on 30 November 2020, SEAMEO would like to explore the answers by identifying and compiling youth’s creative and innovative actions in response to COVID-19 and assist their holistic transition to a New Normal lifestyle. Hence, SEAMEO deems it is necessary to provide a platform to consolidate and broadcast the inspiring activities and stories of the youth in the form of video clips.
