SEVEN CRITICAL ISSUES IN EDUCATION COOPERATION AND NETWORKING • First, if they (members) are not able to identify their common problems, common interests and mutual gains of cooperating on a regional basis. • Second, if they are not able to identify priority programs that will give benefit for people in their respective countries. sktw-feb 2009-education coop

  18. (continuation) • Third, if they do not use a technique called ‘problem-solving approach’ as a basis of generating harmonization among ASEAN Members. • Fourth, if they are not willing to share their resources (budget and/or expertise). This is because sharing resources is a reflection of commitment. • Fifth, if they are not willing to have joint efforts in implementing the programs. sktw-feb 2009-education coop
