The
SEA Teacher Project or the “Pre-Service Student Teacher Exchange in Southeast
Asia” is a project that aims to provide opportunity for pre-service student
teachers from universities in Southeast Asia to have teaching experiences
(practicum) in schools in other countries in Southeast Asia.
Based on the SEAMEO seven
priority areas for the eleven SEAMEO Member countries to work together to
improve the quality of education in Southeast Asia, “Revitalizing Teacher Education” is
one of the priority areas in building and strengthening capacity of teachers in
the region.
The
exchange is preferably for 4th year students whose major are in math, science,
English and pre-school. The duration is for one month and based on the
