The Journal of Southeast Asian Education is an official Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) publication produced twice a year. The inaugural issue of the Journal of Southeast Asian Education was launched by the SEAMEO Secretariat in July 2000.

The main purpose of this international journal is to provide information and analyses to assist in policymaking and planning in the countries in the region. It promotes the interchange of ideas on educational issues and comparative studies, both within the countries of the region and other parts of the world. Each article in the journal was written to enable readers from outside each country to obtain an overview of how education is carried out outside its borders.

The theme of this issue is “Implementing the SEAMEO Education Agenda amid the New Normal.” It features contributions from various educational institutions throughout Southeast Asia and beyond. The various articles in this journal present frameworks, projects, and programs focusing on the effective implementation of the SEAMEO Education Agenda in the region.
