| description | In the light of ever-changing social and economic demands, education is
now perceived as a critical force in contributing towards human capital
development. In Southeast Asia, the ever increasing demand for higher
education, coupled with numerous educational reforms in a number of
countries, has resulted in the establishment of several open and distance
learning (ODL) institutions. Through ODL, higher education in Southeast
Asia is expected to experience new advancements with the collective aim
of increasing the capacity for human capital development. This paper
provides a snapshot of the Southeast Asian economic scenario, and how
higher education and ODL will shape and influence the region’s ability to
compete at a global level. The paper also discusses the prospects of a
South-South collaboration between Southeast Asian and African ODL
institutions. (Author's abstract) |
