The Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI) has issued its new report “ASEAN Education Cooperation: An Assessment of the Education Divide and Measuring the Potential Impact of Its Elimination”.
The ADBI experts stress that the quality of education is a key determinant for ASEAN’s further integration and capacity-building. However, there are numerous educational gaps across the ASEAN countries. Moreover, different approaches to education policy are introduced within the region.
The research shows, that an increase in the HDI-Education Index for lagging ASEAN countries to the level of Singapore (benchmark country) significantly increase the level of GDP, export and consumption.
