s noted that, in the globalized future, economies will no longer develop their education systems in isolation. Global economic and social trends will have an impact on the development of education systems. The persity of the various member economies makes APEC an ideal platform for the exchange of information, ideas and expertise as economies seek to overcome similar challenges. The advent of technology increases the opportunities and modes available for such exchanges. The Ministers encouraged greater exchanges and interactions among economies at all levels - education planners, academics, teachers, and students - both physically and through virtual means facilitated by IT. The Ministers recognized that while exchanges could be facilitated through electronic means, there was no replacing the value of people-to-people exchanges.To promote better interaction and understanding within the Asia-Pacific, the Ministers welcomed the focus on increasing youth exchanges between member economies. They hope that, through these exchanges, the peoples of the region will come to better appreciate the rich persity, the many strengths and the synergy of a region seeking to enter the new millennium in harmony.Acknowledging APEC Activities and Next StepsAt the 1st AEMM, the Ministers called for greater co-operative action in education among member economies and established the APEC Education Forum (EdFor) for this purpose. The Ministers agreed that the EdFor had achieved the goal of closer collaboration in education. They pledged their continuing support for the EdFor’s initiatives and programmes in the areas of high quality instruction in key subject areas, monitoring performance in education, and mobility of persons and exchange of information for human resources development. The EdFor should continue to co-ordinate joint activities in the field of education and pursue projects of mutual benefit to economies in the region.In recognition of the need to constantly adjust the focus of education efforts to prepare for an ever-changing future, the Ministers acknowledged the decision by the 21st Meeting of the APEC Human Resource Development Working Group (HRD WG) in January 2000 to rename the APEC Education Forum as the APEC Education Network (EDNET). This network would foster strong and vibrant learning systems across APEC economies, promote education for all, and strengthen the role of education in promoting social, inpidual and economic development. The Ministers also noted the rationalisation of theAPEC HRD WG into a three-network structure, one of which is the EDNET.To realise the vision of education for learning societies in the 21st century, the Ministers agreed to recognise the achievements made and continue their support for efforts to promote...
