Towards Building the Draft Regional Framework
After the sessions on the four themes, participants will share their thoughts and ideas for the draft regional framework through an online platform. The conference management will then collect and present them in the closing session. After the conference, the draft will be reviewed in depth by small committees formed during the conference, such as committees for pre-university education, higher education, and TVET. This work will continue until the end of February 2027. The draft will then be shared for a wider consultation with stakeholders, with the aim of reaching agreement on a regional reference framework.
