Key Market Drivers You Need to Know

  • Massive Digital Infrastructure Investments: governments across Asia are building nationwide digital education platforms to modernise learning systems. Examples like Thailand’s DEPA and Indonesia’s Siberli are driving huge demand for digital learning content, e-learning platforms, and education management systems.
  • Skills Development as a National Priority: from green energy jobs to AI and coding literacy, skills-first education is shaping public spending across the region. Countries are investing heavily in TVET, future-skills programs, and practical and career-oriented learning tools.
  • Sustainability & Green Education on the Rise: sustainability is no longer just a global talking point — it’s becoming part of the school curriculum in many countries. This shift creates a growing demand for Climate change education materials, Green skills training programs, Simulations, and interactive learning tools focused on sustainability.
  • Global Partnerships Wanted: Asian ministries welcome international expertise to support education reform. This opens doors for global EdTech companies, education equipment providers, training and curriculum specialists.

China – Driving Smart Education Nationwide

In China, the government is heavily investing in smart education infrastructure. This includes equipping classrooms with interactive digital technologies, integrating AI-powered learning platforms, and rolling out comprehensive teacher upskilling programs to ensure educators are ready to use these new tools effectively. Technology is becoming a cornerstone of both K-12 and higher education, as the country aims to create a fully connected, data-driven education system.

ASEAN – Aligning Education to Economic Development

In ASEAN, education reform is closely tied to economic development goals. Countries across the region are prioritising technical and vocational education and training (TVET) to close skills gaps and prepare graduates for high-demand industries. At the same time, governments are investing in digital learning tools to improve educational access and enhance teaching quality, particularly in remote areas. There is also a strong push for STEM education and future skills development, ensuring that students are equipped for careers in advanced manufacturing, renewable energy, and technology sectors.

India – Expanding Digital Access and Teacher Training

India is undergoing a massive digital learning expansion under its National Education Policy (NEP). The policy focuses on bridging the digital divide for rural and underserved communities, while at the same time modernising teacher training to improve learning outcomes. The NEP also encourages more innovative teaching methods, such as experiential and project-based learning, helping students develop critical thinking and practical skills. This creates growing demand for digital platforms aligned with national guidelines, professional development solutions for teachers, and hybrid learning tools that work both online and offline.
