Characterized by a variety of contexts, Southeast Asia has experienced a rapid growth in the application of digital technology. A new regional report produced in partnership by the GEM Report and the Southeast Asia Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO), with the contribution of the EdTech Hub, building on the global 2023 GEM Report released in July, shows that this growth is changing the way education is being delivered in the region.
There are an estimated 400 million internet users in the region. In 2020 alone, 40 million people went online for the first time. This expansion has been identified for its potential to transform education and meet the region's development aspirations, in particular in personalized tutoring and testing, learning management systems, language learning, and skills development. However, the report cautions that technology is not a blanket solution for addressing major education challenges. As at the global level, its potential for improving teaching and learning needs to be proven.
