A school programme refers to an activity or initiative implemented by your school — whether ongoing or newly initiated — in the classroom or with the wider community.

This programme may include:
▪ classroom-based learning activities
▪ student-led projects
▪ school-wide initiatives
▪ collaborations with parents or the community

Your submission should clearly show:
▪ what the programme is about
▪ how students are actively involved
▪ how students learn through real-life experiences
▪ how the programme benefits the school or community

👉 It does not need to be new — both ongoing and newly initiated programmes are welcome.
👉 If your school is already doing something meaningful, you can submit that existing programme.

Not when it sits in a report.
But when educators know how to 𝑢𝑠𝑒 it.

At the SEA-PLM Capacity-Building Workshop — 𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝐹𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑒𝑤𝑜𝑟𝑘𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝐶𝑙𝑎𝑠𝑠𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚 𝑃𝑟𝑎𝑐𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑒 — representatives from Ministries of Education across Southeast Asia worked together to turn learning assessment results into real-world decisions:

🔵 mapping assessment results to curriculum
🔵 strengthening support for teachers
🔵 shaping reforms grounded in evidence

This is where capacity building matters most — bridging the gap between what we 𝑘𝑛𝑜𝑤 and what we 𝑑𝑜.

Because better data alone doesn’t improve learning.
Better 𝑢𝑠𝑒 of data does.

And that shift is bringing evidence closer to where it truly matters: the classroom.

Not when programmes exist.
But when systems make them work.

Following the strong momentum from Webinar 1, the series continues with Webinar 2: Policies that Build Foundations for TPD@Scale — a deep dive into how national frameworks, standards, and regulations shape equitable, high-quality, and efficient teacher development systems.

From professional standards and career pathways to financing and monitoring systems — this session explores how policy turns fragmented efforts into sustained impact.

With the ongoing war in the Middle East, global geopolitical tensions are no longer just "distant news" as they are directly impacting the price of your rice, the cost of fertilizer, and the stability of our food systems.

Join in an online forum with some of the world’s leading agricultural experts as we dissect how global conflicts are reshaping food security in Southeast Asia and beyond.

SEA-PLM is not just generating evidence — it’s helping countries 𝑢𝑠𝑒 it.

In the Philippines, Cambodia, Lao PDR, and Viet Nam, National Steering Committees are turning learning assessment results into concrete action:

🔵 aligning curricula
🔵 strengthening teacher development
🔵 improving formative assessment
🔵 targeting support where learners need it most

This is where data comes alive — not as numbers on a page, but as better decisions, better teaching, and better learning for every child.

Because evidence only matters when it changes what we do next.
