The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization Secretariat (SEAMEO
Secretariat) and the SEAMEO Regional Open Learning Centre (SEAMEO SEAMOLEC)
are pleased to invite Southeast Asian children to share their dreams and wishes; and
expess their creativity through
the SEAMEO Drawing Competition 2010

Background:
In Southeast Asia, there are adults and children who cannot read nor write because they lack
or have no access to educational opportunities and services.

There are many reasons why they are not able to access education. Some of them probably
live in the remote areas where there is no school or learning centre, or perhaps they have
special needs because of their disability. Some of them may be in difficult situations because
they are from very poor families and they need to earn a living. Some may be orphans or are
from ethnic minorities and unable to speak the dominant language used in school. Others may
have been affected by natural calamities such as typhoons or tsunamis; and some may have
been afflicted with diseases and other problems.

The educational needs of these population groups ought to be addressed. Unfortunately, many
of them still remain unreached.

Committed in promoting cooperation in education, science and culture; and in providing

Education For All, the Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO)
recognizes the need to reach out and build bridges and pathways to bring quality education to
every unreached individual in Southeast Asia.

The SEAMEO Drawing Competition 2010 aims to raise awareness and understanding on the
difficulty of the unreached population groups and their need to access quality education. The
Competition provides opportunity for Southeast Asian children to express their concern and
share their vision on this important theme by demonstrating their creativity through drawing.
