This Expert Consultation on Plant Pest Management Curriculum Development for University and Related Institute Education in Asia-Pacific was held from 25–28 April, 2000 at the Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific (RAP), Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, Bangkok, Thailand. It was the first of its kind to bring together key experts in the field of plant pest management to initiate the process towards harmonizing the plant pest management curriculum for the region.
National experts from China, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, Philippines and Thailand participated and presented their country review papers. The overview situation for the region was presented by the resource expert from CAB International (SEARC). Two specific topics covering mainly the plant pest management curriculum for farm level implementers were also delivered; one from the FAO Programme for Community IPM in Asia and the other from the Thai Education Foundation.
The papers presented in the Expert Consultation contained invaluable information and experiences pertaining to the development of plant pest management in the region. They include important aspects, such as, the origin and historical development of the curriculum, current status and the future plans. Weaknesses and constraints in the curriculum development were highlighted and suggestions for overcoming them made. The Expert Consultation addressed many issues arising from the ensuring discussions and made a number of specific and general recommendations for follow up, including proposing the establishment of the “Asia-Pacific Working Group on Plant Pest Management Curriculum Development”.
This compilation brings together the diverse aspects of plant pest management curriculum development in the Asia-Pacific region. It is hoped that the experience and information collated, including the recommendations derived from the critical appraisals in the Expert Consultation, will be useful in providing the current baseline on curriculum development for plant pest management in the region. Hopefully, from this foundation, relevant future programmes and workplan could be formulated to progress further the efforts initiated by this Expert Consultation towards developing a harmonized plant pest management curriculum for the region.
