SEAMEO RETRAC was approved by SEAMEO Secretariat to organize the regional workshop “Enhancing Inclusive and Equitable Quality Education in Southeast Asia through Innovative Educational Leadership and Management” as an inter-center collaborative project. Considering the significance of the issue, SEAMEO RETRAC developed a research study with the same topic. The mixed-method research aims to study the realities of the issue of inclusive and equitable quality education in Southeast Asia, current policies, experience, and solutions in terms of educational leadership and management to enhance inclusive and equitable quality in different contexts. The research also aims at recommending innovative solutions by identifying shared lessons and best practices from Southeast Asian countries in the areas of inclusive education, equity and quality. Paper 6 by SEAMEO TED ICT Skill Needs Assessment for Technical Education Teachers in the 11 SEAMEO Member Countries 1 Songheang Ai, 2 Vorn Tim & 3 Ravy Voeun 1,2&3 SEAMEO TED, Cambodia During the pandemic disruption worldwide, policymakers and experts expressed ongoing concerns about ICT integration embedded into effective instruction because most of the 11 SEAMEO member countries are developing countries with limited capacities in ICT application. This issue deserves attention, consideration and consensus in response to the ultimately emerged matter. This study aims to assess ICT skill competency levels of technical education teachers. In response to this research objective, 5,704 technical education teachers from vocational-technical high schools in the 11 SEAMEO member countries were polled via a questionnaire through Google Forms. The cross-sectional survey design utilized descriptive statistics and Harman’s single factor test to analyze data. To test hypotheses, an independent sample t-test and one-way ANOVA was used. The results found that technical education teachers are moderate at Microsoft Excel skills but good at Internet skills. The study points to the limitations of ICT skills and suggests the ongoing need for combined resources such as ICT infrastructure, outsourcing, and curriculum review.
