About

In the era of AI, information technology is becoming ​fundamental to all value creation activities. When striving to ​build a society that values Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, ​promoting computer education in public schools is urgent.


This project aims to gather members from various sectors ​across the Asia-Pacific region to address the significant ​issues identified previously (such as policy formulation, ​infrastructure development, teacher training, and inclusivity). ​Through classroom visits, discussions with teachers, and ​dialogue among participants from various countries, we seek ​to promote a uniquely Asian-Pacific approach to computer ​education.
