The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization and the Global Education Monitoring Report will partner for the preparation of a regional report on education and technology in Southeast Asia.

The Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report is an editorially independent, evidence-based annual report hosted and published by UNESCO. Established in 2002, its current mandate derives from the 2015 World Education Forum and focuses on monitoring education in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the implementation of the strategies outlined in the Education 2030.

The 2023 GEM Report will focus on the role of technology in education. As a complement to the global report and in line with its 2019-2024 strategy, a regional report will examine the opportunities and challenges of education technology in Southeast Asia to better serve its national audiences and promote policy dialogue in the region.

In support of the content development of the report, the GEM Report is commissioning 11 country case studies:

  • Brunei Darussalam;
  • Cambodia;
  • Indonesia;
  • Lao PDR;
  • Malaysia;
  • Myanmar;
  • Philippines;
  • Singapore;
  • Thailand;
  • Timor-Leste; and
  • Viet Nam.

Each country case study is expected to provide a comprehensive analysis of education challenges to which technology can potentially contribute and of essential conditions that need to be met for such a potential to be realized in the country.

The GEM Report is inviting proposals from both individuals and organizations by 28 October 2022 (midnight Central European time). For more information on the call, please visit the GEM Report website at this link.

Any requests for additional information should be addressed in writing to f.endrizzi@unesco.org copy furnishing secretariat@seameo.org. All responses to any queries or clarification requests will be made available to all applicants on the GEM Report website via this link.
