A.   Background

 

The SEAMEO mobility programme has been implemented annually to promote global competitiveness of students and internationalisation of institutions in Southeast Asian countries.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the SEAMEO Secretariat announced the postponement of the SEAMEO Mobility programmes, including 9^th batch of SEA-Techer Student Exchange, 5^th batch of SEA-TVET Student Exchange, and 1^st batch of SEA-TVET Teacher Exchange to be implemented in 2021 onwards.

However, based on the results of the SEAMEO COVID-19 Assessment Survey, many institutions under the SEA-Teacher and SEA-TVET Network suggested the transformation of physical exchange to be the virtual academic exchange programme in 2020.

In response to the current digital disruption and academic lockdown, the SEAMEO Secretariat is launching the “SEA-Teacher-TVET Lecture Series” as a part of the SEAMEO Webinar Series on COVID-19 Response which SEAMEO Secretariat has organised with stakeholders, and SEAMEO Centres since April 2020 with the registration number of over 100,000 educators, teachers and students from Southeast Asia and beyond.
