WORKSHOP ON VOCATIONAL PARTNERSHIP INDONESIA-THAILAND BATCH III

A JOINT PROGRAM BETWEEN SEAMOLEC AND OVEC

BANGKOK, 17-22 DECEMBER 2012

1. Background

Over the years, Indonesia and Thailand have enjoyed well established cooperation in various

sectors, particularly education sector such as student exchange program, dual degree program

and other undertakings regarding high learning institution between two countries. Education

improvement both in quality and quantity has always been the concern of the cooperation for

both countries. At the regional level, ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community will address the

promotion of improved standards and better access to education through networking and

institutional collaboration among member states under the ASEAN Socio-Cultural Community

Plan of Action.

One of the efforts for the quality improvement of schools in both countries could be made

through partnership program. Some Indonesian schools had projected to meet international

standard (called RSBI) are required to have school partnership with schools from other

countries. Indonesia and other SEA countries as parts of ASEAN member countries have

potential in strengthen relationship through school partnership program with the various ways

including inserting one of model of distance education in the program.

SEAMOLEC as one of SEAMEO centers has to serve all Southeast Asian countries to develop

education sector, particularly in open and distance learning. Therefore, SEAMOLEC has been

cooperate with Office of Vocational Education Commission (OVEC) since 2010 and conducted

the first batch of school partnership between vocational schools in Southern Part of Thai with

the vocational schools in Yogyakarta, Bali, Central Java and East Java of Indonesia Provinces.

Many activities have been conducted since the first batch of partnership launched. Through this

program the schools has change to meet and getting know each other and so they can have

collaboration in the future. To cover the needs of this partnership program for schools in all over

Indonesia and Thailand, and so we come up with the idea to expand this partnership program in

the third batch. Hopefully at the end this program will be one of our great efforts in moving

towards to ASEAN Community by 2015.

2. Objectives
