As part of the GCE, ASPBAE works closely with the Education International Asia Pacific Office, the Global March Against Child Labour and the Action Aid International Education Thematic Group on education campaigns in the region.
ASPBAE works with its member organisations and education campaign coalitions in different countries in the Asia Pacific to advance the right of all to education, adult literacy and adult learning, and to hold governments and donors accountable in ensuring that these rights are enjoyed by all citizens.
