Abstract

Most countries in South East Asia came out among the last third in TIMSS 2011 and PISA 2012 in both mathematics, science and reading except Singapore who tops among all nations. The same performance standing appeared in 2015. Presently, there is no agreement on the scope, breadth, width and content of basic education among SEAMEO member countries. Its main purpose is to strengthen ASEAN collaboration on curriculum standards and learning assessment across different education system to effectively response to the changing global context. It can be used as an analytical tool to support future development of regional integrated curriculum necessary for ASEAN integration with emphasis on 21st century skills. This common platform will promote in every member country the establishment of best practices to overcome differences in curriculum and performance. It will help to create in harmonizing curriculum provisions across countries, learning expectations and learning outcomes that will enable students to be competent, and subsequently contribute productively to their individual country and the region. Content analysis and mapping of the curriculum were done through series of workshops organized in RECSAM, Penang Malaysia and twice meeting of experts in the University of Tsukuba since 2015 – 2016. The findings and the results will be highlighted and reported on how these documents will be use and accepted to all SEAMEO member countries.
