New Paradigms

• Towards a New Paradigm for Education
  East-West Center, 2002
  
  This is a landmark document. After much discussion and several drafts, it became the basis for the establishment of a new program within the East-West Center, the International Forum for Education 2020 (IFE 2020), which has since sponsored senior seminars, generated scholarly articles, and conducted workshops with participants from 12 countries. The goal of the program is to foster new thinking leading to the evolution of new education paradigms for a fast changing world that the existing education paradigms no longer serve adequately.

• Education Reform: A case Study and a Regional Overview
  for the Hong Kong Educational Research Association , 2001.
  
  At the turn of the decade, education reform was prevalent; more Ministries were undergoing some kind of reform than those that were not. Hong Kong was launching its own reform process, and in support of this, HKERA asked me to present them with the lessons of my two-fold experience as both UNESCO adviser to reform efforts in many countries throughout the world, and as Chair of the Philippine Commission for Educational Reform.
