Participants discussed ASEAN resolutions to narrow the gap in the development of education and exchanged views on the ASEAN Qualifications Reference Framework (AQRF), the ASEAN Students Exchange Programme (ASEP) and the ASEAN University Network (AUN).
On discussion were also cooperation programmes, projects and activities with dialogue partners such as ASEAN +3 and East Asia Summit (EAS) education cooperation, framework agreement on cooperation between ASEAN and UNESCO, and Fulbright-ASEAN initiative.
