SEAMEO’s Role in Shaping Education in Era Society 5.0: Bridging Cultures for Sustainable Development
Abstract
This paper delves into the pivotal backdrop of Southeast Asian educational dynamics within the Society 5.0 framework. The significance of this study lies in unraveling SEAMEO’s multi-faceted roles in fostering regional cooperation, aligning educational strategies with global frameworks, and addressing the challenges posed by Industry 4.0. The methodology employed combines a comprehensive literature review to establish theoretical foundations and a descriptive-analytical approach to critically analyze SEAMEO’s contributions. Findings illuminate SEAMEO’s proactive involvement in aligning education with the transformative trends of Industry 4.0, integrating advanced technologies, and championing innovative pedagogical paradigms. The manuscript posits recommendations emphasizing the development of social and emotional abilities, foreseeing a future where homeschooling, individualized instruction, and e-learning platforms play pivotal roles. Policy implications underscore the necessity for adaptive policies that embrace technological integration, capacity building for educators, and the prioritization of social and emotional skills. In essence, the manuscript navigates through SEAMEO’s influential role in shaping education, unraveling its current contributions, and providing strategic insights for future policy considerations within the ever-evolving landscape of Society 5.0.
