ASPBAE

The Asian South Pacific Bureau of Adult Education or ASPBAE was established in 1964 by a group of adult educators, inspired by the idea of promoting adult education in the region. Today, ASPBAE has grown to a network of organizations and individuals involved in formal and non-formal adult education, working with and through NGOs, community organizations, government agencies, universities, trade unions, indigenous peoples, women's organizations, the media and other institutions of civil society across the Asia-Pacific.

ASPBAE'S fundamental purpose is to defend and advance the rights of adults throughout the Asia-Pacific Region to learn throughout their lives in order to gain control of their destiny. Increasingly it takes on a full “Education For All” agenda and addresses the challenges for achieving primary and secondary education for children as well as its historic focus on adults.
