Abstract
For close to a decade, the members of the Southeast Asia Ministers of Education Organization (SEAMEO) have pursued quality and equity in education (QEE) as the priority national and regional education challenge. Quality and equity are the goals; all the other concerns surrounding them, including the issue of capacity, are means. However, the simplicity of the assertion and the acronym are deceptive. Both quality and equity are elastic concepts that represent moving targets.
