SEA-PLM programme showcased at the APMED 6 and NCEME 2024

The Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics was showcased as a platform for collaboration to improve education systems at two significant regional and national education events, further bolstering its significance in the region.

At APMED 6, held in Bangkok, over 100 participants from across the Asia-Pacific region gathered to explore innovative practices aimed at transforming education systems to be more inclusive, resilient, and sustainable. The event brought together representatives from UNESCO Member States, youth leaders, and education experts, focusing on strategies to address the ongoing learning crisis and accelerate progress toward achieving Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4) on quality education.

In one of the side events at APMED 6, the SEA-PLM programme was presented in one of the parallel sessions that discussed the critical role of regional large-scale learning assessments in addressing learning disparities and advancing data-driven decisions in policymaking and implementation. Through the SEA-PLM example, it showcased the potential of regional large-scale learning assessments in providing regional collaborations and spaces for countries to collectively accelerate evidence-based solutions and interventions. Overall, the session centered on strengthening the capacity of educational systems to use assessment data effectively for policy reforms that can improve student learning.

 

 

SEA-PLM also made a significant impact at the National Conference on Educational Measurement and Evaluation (NCEME) 2024, held in the Philippines. The conference centered on sharing innovative strategies to enhance assessment and evaluation processes, with a focus on addressing current educational challenges in the country. Mr Alejandro Ibáñez, who served as a moderator in one of the sessions, emphasized SEA-PLM’s role in advancing regional and national insights to inform country-level reforms, especially in promoting the practice of effective assessment, measurement, and evaluation.

 

 

Both APMED 6 and NCEME 2024 reinforced the importance of collaboration, innovation, and the effective use of data to shape education policies that lead to improved learning outcomes. SEA-PLM’s participation in these platforms and discussions further strengthens its role as a key contributor to the regional dialogue on educational assessment. These engagements reaffirm SEA-PLM’s ongoing commitment to supporting national and regional efforts to improve educational assessment systems, helping to ensure that all children in Southeast Asia have access to equitable and high-quality education.
