Southeast Asia's Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a ten-country economic
union. Brunei, Cambodia, Indonesia, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, Singapore, Thailand,
Vietnam, and the Philippines are among the ten countries. The ASEAN countries agreed in

2015 on a strategy to help each other with regional integration activities and projects.
The five founding members of ASEAN, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore, and
Thailand, met in Bangkok, Thailand on August 8, 1967 to form the organization. On January 8, 1984,
Brunei joined, followed by Vietnam on July 28, 1995, Laos and Myanmar on July 23, 1997, and Cambodia
on April 30, 1999.

1967 and has made a substantial contribution to regional peace and development. Internal
diversity, generally good economic growth, and a reluctance to establish a strong
supranational organization characterize ASEAN. In 1976, ASEAN began moving toward economic
cooperation and integration with its five founding members, first focusing on trade. It
shifted its concentration to services, investment, and labor in the 1990s. In the last decade,
ASEAN has broadened its macroeconomic cooperation to include all of Southeast Asia.
Failures
ASEAN, as an institution and a political body, is falling short of its goals in resolving the region's
most critical and complicated issues.
Today, the union faces a big difficulty since it is sandwiched between the economic
heavyweights of the United States and China, with the majority of its members forced to take
sides. ASEAN is caught in the crossfire, and if it does not properly navigate this geopolitical
quagmire, it faces disintegration.
Furthermore, due to its distinctiveness and diversity, each member state is focused on its own
interests and goals, as each member faces its own set of social, economic, and political
difficulties. As a result, each country has little choice but to concentrate on its own local issues,
which have a direct impact on ASEAN's overall health.
Internal and external conflicts, such as border conflicts, illegal migration, ethnic
upheavals, and concerns about natural resource depletion, all pose threats. In the South China
Sea, there are also significant issues relating to territorial conflicts.

Graft and corruption, demographic differences, unequal social progress, disparities in
economic progression and technology adaptation, environmental degradation, politics, and
the troubling rise of authoritarianism are just a few of the major roadblocks that ASEAN
faces.
As a result, as it moves forward, the ASEAN must endeavor to address the following
issues:
1. Maintain its role as a peacemaker by growing its assets and elevating its status in the region to
impose rule of law.
2. Preserve geopolitical stability and healthy regional relations.
3. Increase economic growth and openness.
4. Develop and update new business models.
5. Be adaptable when it comes to changing demographics.
6. Ensure inclusive growth and long-term development for its members and the
organization as a whole.
7. Consistent growth of the digital economy in the region.
8. Encourage interdependence in the economy.

Assessment
Review:
ASEAN has failed to realize its long-term goal of becoming a unified sociocultural, economic, and
political entity. As a result, one of the areas in which education plays a key role is education.
ASEAN has begun to promote educational partnership among its member states. It also wants to foster
joint research developments and improve student and staff exchange through cooperative credit
allocation techniques and other permitting procedures.

In the ASEAN Vision 2020, which was adopted on the 30th anniversary of
ASEAN, the ASEAN Leaders agreed on a shared vision of ASEAN as a concert of Southeast
Asian nations looking outward, living in peace, stability, and prosperity, bonded
together in partnership in dynamic development, and in a
community of caring societies.
At the 9th ASEAN Summit in 2003, the ASEAN Leaders decided to construct an ASEAN
Community.
During the 12th ASEAN Summit in January 2007, ASEAN leaders reaffirmed their
strong commitment to building an ASEAN Community by 2015, adopting the Cebu
Declaration on the Acceleration of the Establishment of an ASEAN Community by
2015.
The three pillars that make up the ASEAN Community are the ASEAN PoliticalSecurity
Community, ASEAN Economic Community, and ASEAN Socio-Cultural
Community. Each pillar has its own Blueprint, which, when combined with the IAI
Strategic Framework and Phase II (2009-2015) of the IAI Work Plan, form the
Roadmap for an ASEAN Community 2009-2015.
Charter of ASEAN
The ASEAN Charter provides as a firm basis for the ASEAN Community by giving it
legal legitimacy and an institutional structure. It also outlines particular ASEAN aims,
examines accountability and compliance, and codifies ASEAN norms, regulations, and
principles.

legal framework and establish a number of new organs to aid in its community-
building activities.
The ASEAN Charter is now a legally binding agreement between the ten ASEAN member
states.
In February 1976, ASEAN's Foreign Ministers created the ASEAN Secretariat. It was then
relocated to Jakarta's Indonesian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In 1981, H.E. Soeharto,
Indonesia's then-President, erected and opened the ASEAN Secretariat at 70A Jalan
Sisingamangaraja in Jakarta.
The ASEAN Secretariat's primary goal is to improve the effectiveness of ASEAN organ
cooperation and the implementation of ASEAN programs and activities. The ASEAN
Secretariat aspires to be the nerve center of a strong and confident ASEAN Community
by 2015, with a global reputation for operating in strict accordance with its Charter
and in the best interests of its people.
The role of the ASEAN Secretariat is to initiate, facilitate, and coordinate ASEAN
stakeholder collaboration in order to achieve the goals and values of the ASEAN Charter.

3. Tertiary education refers to the college level in all ASEAN countries, which is beyondand
beyond basic education. It is a stage in the educational process in which a student
earns a bachelor's degree in teaching education, which is required to take the licensure exam
to become a professional teacher.
1. General knowledge and understanding – This set of skills and knowledge is taughtin
college as part of general education or liberal arts education as a prerequisite for core
content subjects in professional education. (Knowledge of Oneself and One's Environment)
2. Pedagogy - this component offers a wide range of instructional methods that gobeyond
traditional methods. (Teaching Techniques)
3. Teaching Practicum/Experiential Learning - In this cluster, students validate
theirknowledge, ideas, principles, and pedagogies in a real-world setting as teachers.
(Practicum/Teaching Internship/Immersion into the real world of teaching)
4. Major content courses are taken by people who will teach the material or disciplinein
upper elementary or secondary school. (What to teach in a specific discipline or topic
area) The Most Commonly Used Degree Titles Bachelor of Education is abbreviated
as BEd. A bachelor's degree in elementary education (BEEd) is a qualification in this
field. BSEd (Bachelor of Secondary Education) is a secondary education degree. PGDip is
an abbreviation for Pre-
Baccalaureate or Post- Graduate Diploma in Education. As a
guide for all teachers, several criteria and competences were developed.
1. 21st-century skills
2. Professionalism and accountability
3. Pedagogical ability
4. Characteristics and attributes of the teacher
5. Competence in knowledge
2. Learning Management - This refers to the activities that go along with the
actualinstruction.
3. Administrative work - this refers to the teacher's responsibilities, whichinclude writing
test items, checking and recording test paper results, interacting with parents,
preparing reports, and other related tasks. - The compensation of a teacher varies
depending on the country.
According to the Global Teacher Status Index Report, teacher salaries in ASEAN range from USD
120.50 to USD 2,589 per month, or even higher, as in the case of Singapore, which is roughly $45,755.00
per year. Salary is determined by qualifications, teaching experience, and allocated level or grade.
Teaching in public schools will have a distinct pay scale as well. - Teachers in primary schools are
responsible for more than one specific subject. In fact, in certain nations, such as the Philippines, a
single teacher teaches all of the courses in a self- contained classroom. Team teaching can be done
vertically or horizontally in various instances. In the secondary level, on the other hand, the instructor
may teach the same or different grade levels in the same subject area or major topic.
Teacher Recruitment and Licensing The majority of teachers hold a professional license or have
been qualified to teach by the authorized authorities in their respective nations. It is the Professional
Regulation Commission (PRC) in the Philippines, the National Institute of Education (NIE) in
Singapore, the Teacher Education Council (Khurusapa) in Thailand, and the Akta IV license provided by
teacher colleges in Indonesia for an authority to teach. Where license is not available, certification
is offered instead. For public schools and independent private schools, the Ministry of Education
guides the teacher recruiting process and qualifications, while each c is directed by its own policies
and guidelines.

We're talking about several of the countries in Southeast Asia, a region to which
ProFuturo is now contributing with its plan to increase education quality. According to the United
Nations Human Development Index, this is one of the world's most polarized situations, with one
of the richest countries in the world, Singapore (ranked 9) on one end and many of the poorest
on the other: the Philippines (ranked 106), Indonesia (111) or Cambodia (146), for example. For
example, consider the Philippines (rank 106), Indonesia (111), or Cambodia (146). In a setting like the
one outlined, instruments that assist define the lines of development on which an education
system, at least one that wants to provide its pupils with the best possible education, must rely are
crucial.
The Southeast Asia Teachers Competency Framework is one such instrument (SEA- TCF).
One of the eleven Southeast Asian countries' priority areas in the line of action outlined by the
Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) for the period 2015–
2035 is revitalizing teacher training. All eleven education ministries in the area recognize that schools
must serve a complex and changing society, and that teachers must prepare students by providing
them with the necessary skills to succeed. Members States are committed to promoting education
as a first-choice profession, professionalizing both initial and inservice training, and using a
framework of regional competence as a guide, member
States are
committed to promoting education as a first-choice profession, professionalizing both initial and in-
service training.
As a result, the SEA-TCF is a set of skills, knowledge, behaviors, and attributes that the eleven
Ministries of Education have agreed should be mastered by teachers in their respective countries.
Working groups of senior officials and education experts from the eleven member countries
identified four core competences for the framework. Its overarching goal is to serve as a roadmap for
using it in professional development from a regionally contextualized standpoint and in accordance
with global best teaching practices. The document can also be utilized to promote regional and
community integration, as well as to offer a firm foundation with clear standards for teacher
exchange and mobility across the territory.
One of its pillars is that it was created by Southeast Asian teachers, who took into
account the unique qualities and demands of that country and region. The tool has been tested in a
variety of educational contexts to ensure that the language and concepts utilized are
understandable to all members of the educational community. The applicability and
convenience of application have also been examined. In brief, the instrument has a clear goal: to serve
as a guide for instructors in improving their performance and to ensure that all pupils in the region
receive a high-quality education.
The Teachers' Council of Thailand (TCT) began developing this framework in February
2017 in partnership with the SEAMEO Secretariat (SEAMES) and the SEAMEO Regional Centre for
Educational Innovation and Technology (SEAMEO INNOTECH). Senior officials from eleven ministries of
education, as well as experts from leading teacher training institutes and organizations, such as
Teachers College Columbia University and UNESCO, met in Bangkok, Thailand, as mentioned above, to
discuss and review teacher standards from several countries, using a SEAMEO INNOTECH publication,
Teaching Competency Standards in Southeast Asian Countries. Audit of Eleven Countries.
As a result, the central pillars defining a teacher who is highly prepared to undertake
educational work with a guarantee of success are identified as four core competencies and twelve
general competencies. Following is the order of events: The four core competencies are followed by 12
general competencies, which are followed by 31 enabling competencies, which include 136 success
descriptors. Success descriptors are the observable behaviors expected of a high-performing teacher,
while enabling competencies are a set of performance criteria. It's important to keep in mind that these
abilities must be interpreted in light of the contexts in which they're used.
The following is a list of core and general competencies:
1.A teacher's ability to extend and broaden their knowledge of what to teach, grasp
educational trends, policies, and curriculum, and stay up with local, national, regional, and
worldwide developments is known as knowing and understanding what to teach.
1. Extending and broadening my understanding of the subjects I teach.
2. Becoming knowledgeable about educational trends, policies, and curricula.
3. Staying up to date on local, national, regional, and worldwide events.
2.Knowing your students, using the most effective teaching and learning techniques, and
assessing and providing feedback on how they are learning are all abilities that can be used to
assist pupils.
1. I am well-versed in my students' names.
2. Using the most effective learning methodologies and approaches.
3. Evaluate and provide feedback on my students' development.
3.The ability to interact with parents and caregivers, to involve the community in the
learning process, and to encourage respect and diversity are all examples of
community participation.
1. Working together with other social agents, such as families.
2. Making use of the community to help my students learn.
3. Encouraging diversity and mutual tolerance.
4.The ability to know oneself and others, to cultivate human kindness, and to master
teaching practice are all necessary for becoming a better teacher.
1. Being aware of myself and others.
2. Practicing human kindness in my personal and professional life.
3. Improving my teaching skills.

The assessment results point the teacher in the direction of learning alternatives, which may
include a number of training ways to increase skills. The learning alternatives depicted in
the diagram above would aid in meeting the stated priority teaching needs. On-the-job
learning, learning from others, and structured learning are the three alternatives.

Seminar Topic IV ASEAN Vision 2040: Towards a Bolder and Stronger ASEAN Community
INTRODUCTION:
These topics comprises the ASEAN Vision 2040, which lays the groundwork for
ASEAN's prosperity recognized as the Asian region's economic and political-security hub. ASEAN
Vision 2040 aims to assess the challenges that ASEAN is currently facing and to lay out a vision for the
next two decades, as well as the strategies that will be used to achieve it.
TARGET LEARNING OUTCOMES:
1. Determine the key significance of ASEAN’s Vision 2040.
2. Identify the strategies needed to secure inclusive and sustainable ASEAN growth.
3. Appreciate the rationale behind the of ASEAN Vision 2040.
27
The vision is for ASEAN to take a big step forward in the year 2040, modernizing the ASEAN
Community and securing its regional and global status.
In its Executive Summary, the Economic Research Institute for ASEAN and East Asia (ERIA)
reported on ASEAN's extraordinary achievements over the past 50 years, which were well-known and
documented by ERIA in 2017 for ASEAN's 50th anniversary.
ASEAN’S Remarkable Achievements
Malaysian Prime Minister Mahathir Mohammad eloquently outlined ASEAN's
outstanding achievements during its first two and a half decades of existence at the Asia Society
Conference on Asia and the Changing World in Tokyo in 1993 (ERIA, 2019):
• Increasing the number of members from six to ten, including Myanmar and the previously
at war Indo–China countries; and transforming itself from a "cold war pawn" to ASEAN Centrality
• By 2016 and into 2040, if valued in 2016 purchasing power purity it become the fourth largest
economy and, in the world, (if ASEAN were viewed as a single economy)
• Involving such as NGOs, government officials, and ASEAN’s dialogue partners as widening
network of experts and non-state actors.
• Community building in ASEAN has been fruitful.
ASEAN peoples’ aspirations and expectations.
During the years 2016–2017, ERIA conducted a survey for ASEAN @ 50, which collected
2,300 responses from across the ASEAN region. The nature of the respondents' concerns, as well
as the scale of the aspirations–expectations gap, suggest that they will continue to be pressing
issues not only in 2025, but also beyond 2040 (Intal and Ruddy, 2017).
The survey results recommend that (ERIA, 2019):
28
• The people of ASEAN aim to live in a united and connected region that is both inclusive and
resilient.
• They aspire an ASEAN region that is free of corruption and good governance.
• They aspire to a region with less urban pollution and more sustainable management of its
natural resources.
• They aspire to an ASEAN that has a significant voice globally and is a critical facilitator for peace
in the wider region.
However, there is a significant gap between people's goals and what they expect to
happen, particularly in terms of good governance and reduced corruption, equitable access to
opportunities, and urban pollution. Indeed, at both the regional and national levels, corruption is the
most serious concern of respondents.

ACQUIRE NEW KNOWLEDGE
ASEAN has supported regionalism's agenda and its dialogue partners has persuaded of its
norms, such as the principles embodied in the Treaty of Amity and Cooperation (TAC) in Southeast
Asia and the concept of centrality. The ASEAN networks have established a peaceful region that has seen
incredible progress, decreased poverty, and delivered prosperity to millions of people (ERIA, 2019).
Collective leadership
Asian collective leadership is becoming increasingly critical for global economic policy
outcomes. To navigate this huge regional transformation, Asia's collective leadership is required,
and it is a key ingredient in preserving and strengthening the global rules-based system (ERIA,
2019). ASEAN Plus Six countries and the United States
In strengthening ASEAN centrality, every country in the region has a role to play in the region's
political, security, and economic architecture while also boosting collective and cooperative
leadership in East Asia.
China has developed deep and complex connections that provide various opportunities and
difficulties for all countries ASEAN and China have developed deep and multi-layered ties. The first to
establish a strategic partnership with ASEAN and as an ASEAN dialogue partner to sign the Treaty of
Amity and Cooperation, as well as the first to sign and negotiate a free trade agreement with
ASEAN and the Protocol to the Treaty on the Southeast Asia Nuclear Weapon- Free Zone.
Japan remains an important source of technology and capital for ASEAN and Asia.
The Republic of Korea is working more closely with ASEAN, with deeper linkages among enterprises
and on social development initiatives, now that a new policy is emerging.
India ASEAN serves as an important gateway for India's Act East initiative. Australia and New
Zealand have a lot in common with ASEAN when it comes to balancing relations with the major powers,
especially given the developing Sino–American competition.
United States At the same time as adopting stronger protectionist policies, the Trump
administration talks about how the US has been harmed by unfair Asian practices. These
developments, together with growing strategic Sino–American competition, pose a danger to faith
in the region's rising economic integration, political stability, and security, which have
characterized the region since ASEAN's formation.
The following is an agenda for ASEAN and its regional partners:
Serving to develop collective leadership will help in securing East Asia's
development and stability, as well as resolving global issues.
A strong and actively engaged ASEAN is required to create collective leadership and
ASEAN centrality.
ASEAN must manage consensus and other decision-making and agendasetting
mechanisms to increase its centrality.

compared to 2011, raising worries about energy security and environmental sustainability. The ASEAN
ASCC 2025 Blueprint, the SDGs, and the Paris Agreement all provide a clear vision and ambitious
goals for ASEAN and its member countries. The plan and other documents have also identified actions
that will help achieve the objective. With this, countries must develop innovative ways to reduce
the vulnerability and increase the resilience by 2040.
Climate change and variability, as well as uncontrolled development and poor land
management, were identified as drivers of disaster risk in the ASCC blueprint. By 2040, addressing
these issues could result in a significant reduction in disaster risk and increased resilience.
The process entails standardized data collecting, risk analysis, understanding of risk,
disaster and climate change management systems development, and eventually strengthening and
enhancing risk management plans. A real-time forecasting and early warning system, as well as an
integrated multi-hazard detection system, are scheduled to be created by
2040. Harnessing the new technologies for enhanced resilience and sustainability
The following are some examples of how the digital revolution and Industry 4.0
technologies can help with resilience, sustainability, and productivity (ERIA, 2019):
• Robots can be used to develop and maintain infrastructure as well as assist in disaster recovery,
for example, robot arms can be used to check and repair dangerous disaster areas.
• ICTs can help with the development of early warning and hazard risk information, the mapping
of vulnerable areas, and the transmission of adaption choices and financial resources.
• Artificial intelligence, drones, and remote sensing can greatly improve the monitoring of
agriculture, forestry, and fisheries activities.
• Irrigation systems may be automated, and farmers can utilize blockchain to control water
allocation.
A secure, modern, reliable, affordable, and sustainable energy supply for everybody is the lifeline of
ASEAN's modern technology-driven future. Some of ASEAN's options for securing a cost-effective and
long-term energy system are listed below (ERIA, 2019):
• A well-targeted and measured cross-subsidy method to increase the affordability and
reliability of energy infrastructure development.
• Distributed energy systems with micro-grid system
• Enhance emergency preparedness
• Enhance energy efficiency
• Regulatory and institutional reforms
• Enhance ASEAN-wide energy-related collaboration
• Capacity building
• Public awareness, education, and information on new technologies
• Research, development, demonstration, and deployment (RDD&D)
APPLICATION
What are the ways ASEAN Vision 2040 has formulated to ensure to have a sustainable and
secure energy for its members?
ASSESSMENT:
1. How the ASEAN member countries are responding to COVID – 19? Are these efforts are
indicated in the ASEAN Vision 2040?
2. How Cultural Differences help ASEAN Communities Beat COVID-19?
