Training seminar on capacity-building for curriculum specialists in East and South-East Asia
© UNESCO
Bangkok, Thailand - 12 to 16 December 2000
As a follow-up to activities begun in the region and in collaboration with the UNESCO Bangkok Office (UNESCO PROAP) which in 2000 launched the Curriculum Innovation in Basic Education project to examine curriculum reform at the basic education level. As a first phase of this project, a seminar was held in Bangkok in December 2000 with the technical and financial assistance of the Government of Thailand.
The meeting, which gathered curriculum specialists from East and South East Asia sought to initiate the documenting of recent curriculum reform efforts in the participant countries and also pilot a session in communications skills for curriculum developers.
The documenting of curriculum reform is being followed up in the PROAP project through the undertaking of critical analyses of reform processes specifically in relation to the fourth pillar of learning outlined in the Report of the International Commission on Education for the 21st Century. Country case studies will be published by PROAP in 2002. The inclusion of a session on communications skills was an initial step in the IBE's plans to develop a series of training modules for curriculum developers in the management of curricular change.
