The Southeast Asia Primary Learning Metrics (SEA-PLM) aspires to provide a world-class student learning assessment for the region, catering to the needs and context of different countries. The first cycle of this assessment, conducted in 2019 with six participating countries, sought to find out what Grade 5 children know and can do in reading, writing and mathematics. For the first time, global citizenship attitudes, values and behaviours of children were also measured by a large-scale learning assessment at primary education level. [Abstract]
This book presents innovative instructional interventions designed to support inquiry project-based learning as an approach to equip students with 21st century skills.

Scholars from history, economics, political science, and psychology describe the present state of school accountability, how it evolved, how it succeeded and failed, and how it can be improved.

Case studies of three states with strong school systems compare how accountability works in practice. Evers is a research fellow at the Hoover Institution.

First published in 1922, the novel "Sitti Nurbaya: A Love Unrealized," by Marah Rusli, retains the poignancy that made it a modern Indonesian classic. In terms of its social impact in what was then the Dutch East Indies, "Sitti Nurbaya" may be compared to "Uncle Tom's Cabin" in the ante-bellum United States. Even to this day, the issues of injustice and indignities suffered by women that this novel raised continue to be debated throughout the country. Rich in description, dense with ironic foreboding and the inexorable workings of fate, Sitti Nurbaya is Samsu and "Sitti Nurbaya"'s ill-fated love story. But in their wishes, the reader might also also discern young people's tantalizing dream of what the East Indies society might become, or could become, if only local genius, embodied in a modernizing youth emancipated from stifling traditions, could fuse with European genius in mutual respect and admiration. This too was, of course, a dream never to be realized, and one perhaps which never could have been realized.
