The Southeast Asian Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) was established on 30 November 1965 as a chartered international organization whose purpose is to promote cooperation in education, science and culture in the Southeast Asian region.
SEARCA is SEAMEO's center of excellence in agriculture.
The SEAMES, located in Bangkok, Thailand, is the conceptual body of SEAMEO. It serves as the executive arm of the Council and the Headquarters of the Organisation as well.
The SEAMEO has 19 specialist institutions that undertake training and research programs in various fields of education, science, and culture. Each Regional Centre has a Governing Board composed of senior education officials from each SEAMEO Member Country. The Governing Board reviews the Centres’ operations and budget and sets their policies and programmes.
