2023 Southeast Asia Report – Technology in education

Produced by the Global Education Monitoring (GEM) Report team, in partnership with the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), and with the contribution of the EdTech Hub, the report covers 11 countries: Brunei Darussalam, Cambodia, the Lao People’s Democratic Republic, Indonesia, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Singapore, Thailand, Timor-Leste and Viet Nam. It is informed by nine country case studies, five thematic studies, and inputs by SEAMEO affiliate members and partners.

Building on the 2023 Global Education Monitoring Report, this regional edition recognizes the emphasis given to technology in Southeast Asia for socioeconomic development, which is being reflected in a focus on digital skills development and investment in connectivity. It urges governments to ask whether the application of technology in education is: appropriate, helping improve learning; equitable, not leaving any one behind; scalable, based on evidence and a solid assessment of costs; and sustainable, in terms not only of its economic but also its social and environmental consequences.
