Abstract
The paper analyses transformations in the organization and management of education in the countries of Southeast Asia, caused by the active processes of the information and economic globalization in the region. It is noted that in the states of Southeast Asia there are historically established prerequisites uniting the peoples living there with a common historical path, cultural traditions, ideology and religions (primarily Buddhism and, to a lesser extent, Islam), recently, they have also been supplemented by multifaceted experience in reforming the national educational sphere in response to current challenges. Particular attention is drawn to the use of the information and communication technologies (ICT) in the educational process at all levels, national projects for the development of distance education (DE) and regional peculiarities of creating and conducting the mass open online courses (MOOC) in the countries of the region. It is shown that the educational potential of ICT is considered by the regional governments of these countries as a significant source of innovation, which will allow in the very near future to smooth out socio-economic inequality in the region and increase the competitiveness of national economies. The exchange of experience in this area is of undoubted interest for the rest of the world, primarily for countries with a similar socio-economic situation.
