Gwang-Jo Kim is the Director of UNESCO Bangkok, the Asia-Pacific Regional Bureau of Education. Education systems in Asia-Pacific are striving to respond to increasingly fierce competition between countries within the region and beyond. Our ongoing "Happy Schools" initiative aims to do just that. The Happy Schools framework covers 22 areas in three categories: People, process and place. The Happy Schools framework then offers not only a blueprint for more effective education, but ultimately for a better world.
