Regional and country activities 2010-2011
108 government officials and NGO staffs from 25 countries in Asia and Pacific participated in the Community Learning Centres (CLC) regional conference in September 2011 in Bangkok. The objectives of the conference are to exchange ideas and experiences and to discuss the quality assurance of literacy and NFE programme delivery, the decentralization mechanism, the literacy assessment and the coordination among stakeholders. The conference summary report is being prepared and will be e-published in early 2012.
Technical support is provided to the DNFE, Lao PDR in order to strengthen Non-Formal Education (NFE) mechanisms and programmes to provide quality education for all. With support of UNESCO, DNFE has finalized CLC guidelines and draft NFE policies and strategies.
UNESCO Bangkok also implemented a project to further strengthen the existing Community Learning Centres (CLCs) in Nepal, Cambodia, Vietnam and Samoa. Nepal and Cambodia addressed the Multi-Lingual Education (MLE) both in piloting and advocating using CLC as a plat form of programme delivery. The project brought together key stakeholders and raised awareness on mother tongue education. Samoa and Vietnam addressed Education for Sustainable Development (ESD) at CLC level. It contributed to capacity building of CLC facilitators as well as increased communication among key stakeholders.
