Formal and Non-Formal Education. Co-ordination and Complementarity. Report of a Regional Operational Seminar, Bangkok and Southern Thailand (October 22-31, 1985).
United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization, Bangkok (Thailand). Regional Office for Education in Asia and the Pacific.
A seminar was conducted to review formal and nonformal education in the context of lifelong education in Southeast Asia and the Far East, to visit field projects in Thailand and discuss the experiences gained, and to suggest ways and means to solve identified problems and coordinate planning. This report summarizes the information that was presented and the actions that were taken by the nine seminar participants. The report is organized in four chapters. Chapter 1 presents an overview of experiences of coordinated planning and complementarity between formal and nonformal education in many countries of the Asia and Pacific region, specifically in China, India, Indonesia, the Philippines, Vietnam, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Chapter 2 contains highlights of the field visit to southern Thailand. In chapter 3, a proposed model on complementarity between formal and non-formal education is presented, and seminar participants present the problems, issues, and strategies inherent in coordinated planning for education. The final chapter contains recommendations for the improvement of educational efforts in the countries of Southeast Asia and the Far East. An appendix contains a report of the field visit that was made to projects and programs in Thailand in October 1985. (KC)
