Welcome Remarks by Dr Gatot Hari Priowirjanto

Director, SEAMEO Secretariat His Excellency General Dapong Ratanasuwan, Minister of Education, Thailand and the SEAMEO Council President Assoc Prof Kamjorn Tatiyakavee, M D, Permanent Secretary, Ministry of Education, Thailand, and Chair of the 38th SEAMEO High Officials Meeting, Distinguished Delegates from SEAMEO Member Countries and SEAMEO Associate Members, Distinguished Delegates of SEAMEO Affiliate Members, SEAMEO Centres, Partners and Observers, Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Good morning. Sawaddee Krab! It is my great privilege to welcome all of the distinguished guests to the 38th SEAMEO High Officials Meeting. We are again gathered here today and tomorrow to take part in one of SEAMEO’s most important meetings. As with the years that passed, this year’s SEAMEO HOM is expected to be filled with fruitful discussions by the delegates. Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, Another year is about to close and as we usher in 2016, we look forward to an even more exciting year for SEAMEO to continue to pursue innovative, forward-looking and trendsetting programmes to optimise its best capacities, learn from proven models, build on region’s best practices, maximize inter-centre collaboration, engage in cooperation among SEAMEO Member Countries and expand partnerships and networks. It is my pleasure to tell you that the planning and the deliberations of all these programmes start right here, in the SEAMEO High Officials Meeting. The SEAMEO High Officials Meeting or known as HOM is the forum for the Vice Ministers or Undersecretaries, Permanent Secretaries or Assistant Secretaries, and Directors General of the Ministries of Education in Southeast Asia to prepare recommendations, suggestions and endorsements on SEAMEO programmes and activities for consideration of the SEAMEO Council. In preparing for the Meeting, the Secretariat has tried its best to ensure the conduct and the logistics of the meeting are at their best. Therefore, please do accept our apologies, if there are any oversights on our part. SEAMEO for 50 years now has remained steadfast in its commitment to the promotion of cooperation in education, science and culture in the Southeast Asian region. As the Organization transitions into its 51th year next year, SEAMEO has many good achievements to be proud of and to thank for. At the same time, we also have huge challenges to hurdle. As SEAMEO continues to embark on pursuing its vision of the SEAMEO New Education Agenda, 7 Priority Areas, (from 2015 to 2035), we look forward to having more cooperation among us and with our partners.

Appendix II

(39)

According to our New Education Agenda, this year’s HOM emphasise on tackling agenda items in response to the SEAMEO 7 Priority Areas including

1) Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE); 2) Addressing barriers to inclusion; 3) Resiliency in the face of emergencies; 4) Promoting Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET); 5) Revitalising Teacher Education; 6) Promoting harmonisation in Higher Education and Research; and 7) Adopting a 21st Century curriculum

Our SEAMEO 7 Priority Areas will contribute to not one dimension of education

development alone but seven. Altogether we have high expectation that, in the next twenty years if not before, we will be able to provide quality education to all peoples in Southeast Asian Region which is also one of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals Number 4. As the normal practice of the SEAMEO High Officials Meetings, the 38th SEAMEO High Officials Meeting consists of two parts. The first part is the In-Camera Session which took place yesterday afternoon. The In-Camera Session had deliberated and made decisions on all 11 agenda items. The second part of the SEAMEO HOM is the Plenary Sessions which has started this morning. We have prepared 25 agenda items that cover a wide range of education issues. High on the meeting agenda are the SEAMEO New Education Agenda, 7 priority Areas (2015-2035) and the SEAMEO Initiatives, the SEAMEO College, SEAMEO STAR Village, SEAMEO Smart City, SEA-Digital Class, SEA-TVET, Fit for School Programme, and other proposals on new initiatives and collaborative programmes and activities to be presented by some of SEAMEO partners. With your support and guidance, our deliberations here will be productive and will result to agreements and recommendations on all agenda items for which working papers are to be presented Ad Referendum to the SEAMEO Council for the Non-SEAMEC year in 2016. Indeed, we very much look forward to engaging in another dynamic discussion among our education experts from the SEAMEO Member Countries, Associate and Affiliate Members, SEAMEO Regional Centres, partners and related stakeholders. Excellencies, Ladies and Gentlemen, As SEAMEO has celebrated its 50th Anniversary, I would like to thank all of you representing each of our SEAMEO member countries as well as other related organisations for always keeping SEAMEO High Officials Meeting your top priority.

Opening Speech H E General Dapong Ratanasuwan

Minister of Education, Thailand

Distinguished High Officials of SEAMEO Member Countries and Associate Member Countries, Dr Gatot Hari Priowirjanto, Director of SEAMEO Secretariat, Director of SEAMEO Regional Centres and Network Secretary- General, Representatives from the ASEAN Secretariat, Ladies and Gentlemen,

It is a great pleasure for me to open the 38th SEAMEO High Officials Meeting in

Bangkok, Thailand. On behalf of the Ministry of Education of Thailand, I would like to extend to you all a very warm welcome and express our appreciation for the efforts made by the SEAMEO Secretariat and all educational partners in organizing this event.

I am certain that the importance of education is recognized by all countries. The ultimate goal of providing education in this 21st century, however, is not as simple as providing education for all. The world community is now moving towards Education 2030. This global education agenda is part of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. In other words, education is considered as a key tool/ to build a sustainable future. As such, we need to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education and promote lifelong learning opportunities for all. For Thailand, we strongly believe that education is a key tool to achieve security, prosperity, sustainability and resilient democracy. We are now in the process of reforming our education. The key focuses are to provide learning opportunities for all, improve workforce skills, develop research and development, promote quality education, build students’ critical thinking skills, nurture moral and ethical values, and improve teachers’ potential. Distinguished Delegates, Ladies and Gentlemen, I would like to refer to the First Princess Maha Chakri Award Presentation Ceremony, hosted by Thailand in October 2015. The Princess Maha Chakri Award was established not only to honour Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn’s outstanding achievements in promoting education and developing people’s quality of life but also to recognize achievements of eleven teachers, representing SEAMEO Member Countries. We believe that by presenting this Award, teachers will be more committed to their profession leading to improvement of the teaching profession in our Region. I would also like to take this opportunity to congratulate the SEAMEO Secretariat on its 50th Anniversary. For five decades, it has promoted collaboration among nations through education, science and culture. Thailand is proud to be part of SEAMEO and will continue to work closely with its Regional Centres, Associate Members, Affiliate Members and other partner countries for the benefit of our future generations.
