Formalisation of oral music traditions through music education in South Asia
Problems in curriculum-based music education practices in primary schools
Continuation of music learning from secondary school to higher education

Formalisation of oral music traditions through music education in South Asia
Problems in curriculum-based music education practices in primary schools
Continuation of music learning from secondary school to higher education
Opportunities and challenges in using modern technologies for music education
The topics are not further elaborated fso that presenters might be encouraged to have an open dialogue that include the urgent topics and issues that confront music education in the regional in the here and now while at the same time allowing for time to imagine, plan and build the pathways, structures, resources and people that will be essential to meeting those longer term goals.
South Asia is a region of great diversity. This diversity should be widely respected and nurtured. Although living standards are based on increasing economic outputs, some critical voices should be heard that have to balance the place of music learning, that have to deal with the facts of oral traditions, in primary schools as well as in later types of schools and institutions. This conference may have to re-define a number of issues such as public and privatemusic education, name their goals, and question some basic assumptions of educational principles applied to regionally diverse communities.
The conference language is English with Sinhala as peripheral language (if the presentation is provided with a translation into English).
