　　在經濟全球化和自由貿易的浪潮下，人力資源是經濟貿易和社會發展的最重要資產，於焉，教育的國際合作日顯迫切。臺灣在南向政策的宣示下，「深耕東南亞」亦成教育政策的一大焦點，故與東協的教育合作日益重要。

　　東協近年來亦日益強調人力資源開發、脫貧創富、和區域融合對國家發展的重要性，故亦積極對外尋求合作的夥伴。臺灣的優質教育在近年來的發展可供東協的借鏡，蓋臺灣歷經極端貧困、戰爭蹂躪、天然資源匱乏的困境，卻因人民的篳路藍縷胼手胝足而開創了經濟奇蹟，其中人力資源扮演了重要的角色，此經驗亦是東協國家可資參考借鑑的寶藏。而臺灣與東協國家一水之隔，在民風文化和經濟發展上均有雷同之處，故在借鑑上有其便利，惟東協技職教育的相關資訊並不多見。

　　無知乃合作之大患，故欲加強雙方教育合作，則知己知彼是必要之策略，爰本研究乃以此為目標，蒐尋東協國家技職教育之相關資訊以供產官學界研發決策之參考。在人力資源發展中，政府的政策扮演著重要的指導角色，這在臺灣是如此，在東協國家亦不例外，故本研究亦基於此，藉由文獻蒐集以相互理解，終而獲致國際交流合作，以達雙贏互利之願景。

　　Urgency of cooperation in TVET in conjunction with globalization in economy and diplomacy such as FTA with EU, ASEAN and other countries has been intensified because human resources are the most valuable asset for economic and social development. The Taiwanese government has emphasized the importance of cooperation between Taiwan and ASEAN countries and enlarged the Taiwan’s role to play in TVET development in ASEAN countries.

　　ASEAN countries have recognized the role of HRD to play for national development, poverty alleviation and community cohesion. Thus, they are searching for the role model of HRD which they would follow. The Taiwann model of HRD would be a prospective model of HRD for ASEAN developing countries because Taiwan went through extreme poverty, destruction of War and had to overcome lack of natural resource and becomes a leading country in Asia. Many ASEAN countries want to share the model of HRD and the experiences from Taiwan and other countries because they have lots of similarities. However, only little information of ASEAN countries’ TVET has been available.

　　Lack of information is the most critical barrier to improve the cooperation between Taiwan and the ASEAN developing countries. The TVET policy of government is the centerpiece of the TVET information. Taiwanese government has played governing roles of TVET development in providing framework for HRD development.

　　In most ASEAN countries, the governments have most valuable human resources and notable abilities to make a difference. In this regard, it is most recommendable to share ASEAN countries’ TVET policies in order to learn from each other and to make a common ground of mutual understanding.
