SEAMEO Regional Open Learning Center (SEAMEO SEAMOLEC)

The year 2005-2006 has been a challenging year for SEAMOLEC. Within that 9th _{year of its} establishment, SEAMOLEC has been involved in variety of activities focusing on improving internal management, implementation of good governance, and also improving the quality of SEAMOLEC’s products and services.

Improvement of internal management and implementation of good governance includes the rearrangement of the center’s structure, improvement of the center’s legal instruments, obtaining approval on the 2nd _{Five Year Development Plan, development of standard operating procedures} and communication mechanism, recruitment of new staff members to strengthen the team, seeking commitment and support from MONE and SEAMEO family. SEAMOLEC’s effort has been strongly supported by the SEAMOLEC’s Governing Board, especially expressed during the Governing Board Meeting in Bali, Denpasar, 2005. Endorsement of the High Official of SEAMEO has also been received by SEAMOLEC through the SEAMEO High Official Meeting in Bangkok, November 2005. Based on those supports, SEAMOLEC conducted an internal workshop, to raise awareness and to get all SEAMOLEC’s staff ready to embark on the new system implemented by SEAMOLEC, based on its legal instruments.

The approval of SEAMOLEC’s effort to improve internal management and implementation of good governance has been received from the SEAMEO Council during SEAMEO Council Conference in Singapore, 2006. The Council has endorsed the 2nd _{Five Year Development Plan of SEAMOLEC,} SEAMOLEC’s Enabling Instruments, and SEAMOLEC’s Staff Rules. Based on those legal instruments, SEAMOLEC drafted the operational guidance to its daily activities, i.e., the Standard Operating Procedures.

Improvement of SEAMOLEC’s products and services have been initiated through refocusing and redesigning SEAMOLEC’s thrusts, programs, products and services. At present, SEAMOLEC has been successful in developing four core training programs, three research streams, IT and system

indicated by various partners. Exploration for new programs and diversification of the present products and services will be continued

By 2007, SEAMOLEC will be completing its establishment decade. Within that period, the development of SEAMOLEC as the regional center on open and distance learning under the auspices of SEAMEO has been focused on initiation and establishment of SEAMOLEC as an organization. The efforts has been directed toward designing and implementing its organizational structure and management system, developing SEAMOLEC’s strategic planning and corporate culture, recruiting quality human resources, obtaining commitment from upper management and stakeholders, and also managing the budget allocation and appropriation. SEAMOLEC has enjoyed high support from the Government of Indonesia during its establishment period, including the construction of SEAMOLEC’s building.

Based on its present situation, it is expected that SEAMOLEC will be ready to embark on its development stage starting 2007. Within the development stage, SEAMOLEC’s efforts are to focus on gaining stronger support from stakeholders in Indonesia, Southeast Asia, as well as international setting through quality performance, credibility, and accountability. Within the present competitive situation, SEAMOLEC’s development stage is expected to evolve around creative and innovative development of quality services, quality process of delivery and management, and stronger collaboration and networking with various parties and stakeholders. Furthermore, promotion and advocacy of SEAMOLEC’s services is also a part of the development plan, in order for SEAMOLEC to gain recognition and to play more significant role in promoting open and distance learning in Southeast Asian countries.

Constraints and obstacles have always been in parallel to the strength and opportunities of the Center in its journey. Refinement and revision of the present practice to perform better is emergently demanded, and new vision for redefinition and repositioning SEAMOLEC’s in the continuous cycle of its journey is also needed. Furthermore, new challenges will emerge, and new strategies will need to be found and implemented, as SEAMOLEC continues its future journey.

It is with great hope that all challenges will stimulate for SEAMOLEC to move forward, and that the present achievement will be an impetus to building and enhancing the Center’s future undertakings. SEAMOLEC is very much indebted to the strong support and collaboration extended by many partners around the region and in the international setting. Such a collaboration has indeed opened up many windows of opportunity for SEAMOLEC’s endeavor in carrying out its mission in the area of open and distance learning.

KRA-2:

Enhanced Quality and Efficiency of Management

By the year 2005, the establishment stage of SEAMOLEC has achieved its 9th years. Therefore, in order to achieve SEAMOLEC vision and mission, further forwarding steps must be taken. In the year 2005-2006, SEAMOLEC has developed its 2nd Five Years Development Plan, which focuses on strategic goal of accelerating its efforts to strengthen its institutional foundation and respond more actively to the needs of the Southeast Asia member countries to promote open and distance learning. The SEAMOLEC’s 2nd Five Years Development Plan has been endorsed by the SEAMEO Council during the SEAMEO Council Conference in Singapore, March 2006.

The strategic goal of SEAMOLEC’s development plan indicates two main focuses of development, i.e., strengthening institutional foundation, and responding actively to various needs in the area of ODL. The focuses are further translated into strategic objectives, program thrusts, and action plan to be carried out by SEAMOLEC during the year of 2005/2006 to 2009/2010. Within the 2nd Five

Years Development Plan, SEAMOLEC is actually carrying out transformation, from establishment stage to development stage to achieve its mission. Combined with external challenges which emphasize on quality in every aspects of an institutional endeavour, SEAMOLEC employs good governance and total quality management as the underlying principles on managing its development and transformation.

These principles of good governance and total quality management have been introduced to SEAMOLEC since early 2005, and adopted to be principles of managing SEAMOLEC’s transformation to answer

to institutional dynamics as well as services diversification. Good governance principles, as implemented in SEAMOLEC, include widening opportunity for participation, adherence to existing law, rules, and regulation, transparent management, responsive to various needs, consensus-based decision making, equity, fair and just, effective and

efficient, being accountable, and strategic visions. Meanwhile, the total quality management is adopted as mechanism to assure quality of actions/procedures taken by each unit/component of the centre, and services and products offered by the center.

To ascertain the implementation of those two principles in SEAMOLEC, some steps have been taken, i.e.:

1. Reposition and Redefinition of SEAMOLEC

SEAMOLEC has been traveling its first eight years of establishment period to be the center of open and distance learning in Southeast Asian countries. With the 2nd Five Years Development Plan, SEAMOLEC will be rounding its establishment decade and then expectedly will

step into the later stage of its development phase. Under the 2nd Five Years Development Plan SEAMOLEC is shaping its programs and

activities based on the distinctive features of open and distance learning, where open learning means flexibility in learning across time and space for/by anybody through various means, while distance learning means solving geographical barrier in learning for/by anybody through various means.

Based on those assumptions, SEAMOLEC focuses its activity into five major thrusts, i.e., Training, Research and Development, Information & Communication Technology, Public Relations and Marketing, Administrative Management, and to cover all levels of education, custom-designed programs, as well as prepackaged programs of SEAMOLEC. Development and improvement of the Center’s quality services based on collaboration, accountability, responsiveness and relevance, and effectiveness and efficiency, and improvement of the Center’s internal management, as well as its organizational health are carried out accordingly.

To support the operational process, SEAMOLEC has prepared the new revised Enabling Instrument, Staff Rules, and Standard Operating Procedures. Those instruments will serve as guidance to the Centre for its daily operation and its forwarding journey to answers to the emerging challenges. In addition, SEAMOLEC will acquire new building, and some hardware’s and infrastructure to support its operation under the new development framework.

Under this framework, the support from the Government of Indonesia is increasing relatively. Nevertheless, the Centre still have the freedom to provide fee-based services for income generating activities. In the future, the Centre must become a self-sustaining centre, based on its strength and expertise, and also on the available facilities.

2. Improvement of Human Resources Management

SEAMOLEC’s human resources are the key players for the Centre. They are grouped into two categories, i.e., the internal staff members, and the outsourced experts. The internal staff members are the Centre’s experts staff and officers, and supporting staff who works for SEAMOLEC to support the management of SEAMOLEC’s programs and daily activities. While the outsourced experts are experts in the fields from other institutions, who are acquired by SEAMOLEC for special purposes or projects through networking. With good skills and knowledge, experiences, and working culture, SEAMOLEC’s human resources are valuable asset. For this reason, some strategic programs have been designed for to increase their working capacity and performance. First is contract-based employment, so that each staff and expert has a working contract with the Centre on a yearly basis for implementing the Centre’s program. The semester-based staff evaluation system provides a picture of staff progress and development. It comes side by side with the reward and sanction scheme for the staff. In addition to in-kind reward, opportunities are also provided for the staff to participate in several events based on their skills and professionalism, i.e., further education, training, seminars/conferences.

Division and delegation of authority for each staff members is also drafted in the form of job description, for easy monitoring and quality control. A project island system is employed for staff to work in various teamworks based on the assignment and their expertise. That way, a staff member is required to be of a generalist, than a specialist, and each staff will experience different group dynamics from each team s/he is involved.

In 2005/2006, nine new staff members were recruited to strengthen SEAMOLEC’s working teams and divisions, as follows:

Area Number Division

Economic Management 3 (three) Finance Information & Technology 2 (two) IT and PR

Public Relation and Communication 2 (two) Administration and PR Education Management 2 (two) Training

3. Improvement of Financial Management

The deconcentration of financial management has been introduced in 2005, to improve the management of the Centre’s financial affairs, based on the transparancy principle. Each division is allocated the amount of budget based on their proposed activities. Division’s activities are derived from the 2nd Five Years Development Plan. The deconcentration system provides the autonomy of each division to propose budget (and receive approval from the Director and Finance Division), manage the alloted amount, and being responsible to the amount given (implementing the program and reporting).

Financial and activity report from each division is requested quarterly. Further, monthly financial report of the Centre is submitted to SEAMEO Secretariat monthly. For financial accountability report, SEAMOLEC’s financial affairs is audited by external auditor annually. The Centre’s accountability report is submitted to the SEAMOLEC Governing Board Meeting annually.

In addition, SEAMOLEC’s financial officers have received in-service short term training in SEAMEO Secretariat to increase their capability in preparing financial report of the Center.

4. Improvement of General Management

Good communication among director, manager, and staff is believed to provide a conducive working atmosphere to the Center. The communication is carried through various means, e-mail, mobile phone (short messages), and also regular periodical meeting. Collective decision making is practiced for most major decision for the Centre, involving Director and Managers of Division. At the end of the year, SEAMOLEC conduct Centre’s annual meeting for discussing and evaluating the implemented program and the proposed new program for the following year. As a part of the meeting program, SEAMOLEC also conduct “outbound” program to refresh collegiality among staff members. The “family gathering” is also conducted once a year to entertain SEAMOLEC staff and their family.

Working facilities and equipment are furnished for each staff member to support productivity. At this moment, each staff member has access to a computer set and

connectivity to the internet. While space is limited, each staff member is equipped to have his/her own desk and working cubical. The situation in terms of office space will expectedly be improved when SEAMOLEC moves to its new building next year.

5. Improvement of Program Development

Recognizing the advancement of science and technology, and also the emergence of some similar centre’s, SEAMOLEC is expected to be ready for innovative, creative, and diversified programs and activities which answers to the clients needs and market demand. To answer to the challenge of providing innovative, creative, and diversified programs, staff members of SEAMOLEC are encouraged to keep up with the development on the field – nationally, regionally, and globally – via the internet and hardcopy literature all the time. Access to internet connection for each staff supports the effort. Participation in

in-service training and seminar/conferences supports the development of staff creativity and knowledge on diversification of the Centre’s program.

To be able to answer the clients needs and demand, the Centre conducts feasibility study and needs assessment for each program, and making the Centre’s program to be custom-designed. The Centre’s program is designed by the program team consists of the Centre’s staff members as well as outsourced experts. Study on the clients satisfaction is set to be a regular and integrated part of the Centre’s program. Certification process is now well-documented through the application of certificate’s number. In addition, a follow up action is also conducted to each alumni of the Centre’s program, for at least one year after the program.

At present, to support the development of the Centre, some efforts are still needed, various steps also need to be taken, and continuous maintenance and development of the system are still required, among others to include the possibility for SEAMOLEC to obtain ISO 9001 in 2007/2008 via improved management process, recruitment of new qualified staff members, diversification of the Centre programs and services, excellent research and development on educational innovation, policy, and state of the art, development of virtual campus (prototyping), and segmented marketing and networking. The underlying principles in carrying out these efforts are good governance and total quality management, based on the vision and mission of the centre.

Special Activities

Responding to emergency and crisis situation in Nangroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) and North Sumatra’s post Tsunami, SEAMEO, through the 40th SEAMEO Council Conference has made statement to offer prompt and relevance assistance based on its strength and expertise. SEAMEO efforts to provide assistance to NAD and North Sumatra is coordinated by the appointed Task Force.

SEAMOLEC has been involved in coordinating the development of proposals and implementation of activities from various SEAMEO Centers. Thus far, activities which have been accomplished include:

1. Rapid Nutrition Assessment by SEAMEO TROPMED Indonesia (supported by UNICEF).

2. Training for NAD medical practitioners by TROPMED Network.

3. Science Teachers Training by SEAMEO RESCAM (funded by the Government of Malaysia).

4. English Language Teachers Training by SEAMEO RELC (funded by the Government of Singapore).

5. Training on the use of GIS Software by SEAMEO BIOTROP (supported by Indonesian Geometric Society and Government of Germany).

6. Training on ICT for Instruction by SEAMOLEC for lecturers in NAD’s universities (supported by DGHE, MONE).

In addition, SEAMOLEC’s proposal on development of Alternative Curriculum for NAD has also been approved for funding by the Deutsche Bank. The two-year program is intended to introduce and integrate local wisdom and multicultural issues, and water and sanitation management into the school curriculum, involving teacher educators in Syahkuala University, education district officers, and schools and teachers in 12 districts in NAD.

Future Agenda

While the present services will be maintained and upgraded in terms of its quality, new services will need to be developed to enable SEAMOLEC to cater to various needs of its clients. The delivery mode of the services will also be improved by offering some of the services in the form of web-based services, and teleconference services. Further, diversification of the Centre’s services will be carried out by responding actively to the calls for various programs as set by the SEAMEO and its Councils, the Centre’s partners, and the development in the field in general. Therefore, the improvement of SEAMOLEC’s capacity in offering quality services through professional and competent resource persons, collaboration with other centers and experts in the field, and diversification of services will be continued.

The construction of SEAMOLEC’s building will also be continued, and expectedly to be completed by March 2007. Thus, starting April 2007, SEAMOLEC will hold office in its new building. Certainly, this will require an impeccable preparation and adjustment to be able to achieve conducive working condition and system. Within the new building, an ODL classroom will be provided to house the teleconference activities, supported by the Government of Indonesia.

Further, SEAMOLEC will also make effort to apply standardized procedures to its operational management. Improvement in all points of its management system is necessary in this case, based on periodical self assessment of the Centre. The implementation of good governance principles and total quality management will also be carried through to achieve a more flexible, transparent, and accountable system.

Establishment and maintenance of SEAMOLEC’s networks and linkages to gain support and commitment from external parties, clients as well as stakeholders will be continued. Internal commitment from staff members will also be maintained and even increased. Gaining supports from other SEAMEO centers, educational

By 2007, SEAMOLEC will have been completing its establishment decade. Within the period, efforts of development of SEAMOLEC has been focused on initiation and establishment of SEAMOLEC as an organization. The efforts has been directed toward designing and implementing its organizational structure and management system, developing SEAMOLEC’s strategic planning and corporate culture, recruiting quality human resources, obtaining commitment from upper management and stakeholders, and also managing the budget allocation and appropriation. SEAMOLEC has enjoyed high support from the Government of Indonesia during its establishment period, including the construction of SEAMOLEC’s building.

Based on its present situation, it is expected that SEAMOLEC will embark on its development stage starting 2007. Guided by the 2nd Five Year Development Plan, within the development stage, SEAMOLEC’s efforts are focused on gaining stronger support from stakeholders in Indonesia, Southeast Asia, as well as international setting through quality performance, credibility, and accountability. Within the present competitive situation, SEAMOLEC’s development stage is expected to evolve around creative and innovative development of quality services, quality process of delivery and management, and stronger collaboration and networking with various parties and stakeholders. Furthermore, promotion and advocacy of SEAMOLEC’s services is also a part of the development plan, in order for SEAMOLEC to gain recognition and to play more significant role in promoting open and distance learning in Southeast Asian countries.

Constraints and obstacles have always been in parallel to the strength and opportunities of the Center in its journey. Refinement and revision of the present practice to perform better is always demanded, and new vision for redefinition and repositioning SEAMOLEC’s in the continues cycle of its journey is also needed. Furthermore, new challenges will emerge, and new strategies will need to be found and implemented, as SEAMOLEC continues its future journey in pursuance of its vision as the regional center on open and distance learning under the auspices of SEAMEO.

By 2007, SEAMOLEC will have been completing its establishment decade. Within the period, efforts of development of SEAMOLEC has been focused on initiation and establishment of SEAMOLEC as an organization. The efforts has been directed toward designing and implementing its organizational structure and management system, developing SEAMOLEC’s strategic planning and corporate culture, recruiting quality human resources, obtaining commitment from upper management and stakeholders, and also managing the budget allocation and appropriation. SEAMOLEC has enjoyed high support from the Government of Indonesia during its establishment period, including the construction of SEAMOLEC’s building.

Based on its present situation, it is expected that SEAMOLEC will embark on its development stage starting 2007. Guided by the 2nd Five Year Development Plan, within the development stage, SEAMOLEC’s efforts are focused on gaining stronger support from stakeholders in Indonesia, Southeast Asia, as well as international setting through quality performance, credibility, and accountability. Within the present competitive situation, SEAMOLEC’s development stage is expected to evolve around creative and innovative development of quality services, quality process of delivery and management, and stronger collaboration and networking with various parties and stakeholders. Furthermore, promotion and advocacy of SEAMOLEC’s services is also a part of the development plan, in order for SEAMOLEC to gain recognition and to play more significant role in promoting open and distance learning in Southeast Asian countries.

Constraints and obstacles have always been in parallel to the strength and opportunities of the Center in its journey. Refinement and revision of the present practice to perform better is always demanded, and new vision for redefinition and repositioning SEAMOLEC’s in the continues cycle of its journey is also needed. Furthermore, new challenges will emerge, and new strategies will need to be found and implemented, as SEAMOLEC continues its future journey in pursuance of its vision as the regional center on open and distance learning under the auspices of SEAMEO.
