Across Myanmar, children’s learning has been interrupted and impeded by the COVID-19 pandemic and the escalating conflict, with most children having lost more than two years of education.With an already complex and diverse landscape of education providers, the crisis has resulted in shifting patterns of enrollment among the different schools and learning opportunities, and an estimated 3.7 million children have not re-enrolled in any form of education. Nearly all Early Childhood Care and Development centres remain closed (which were previously only reaching 24% of children ages 3-5), and those that are open have drastically reduced enrolment (30-40%) as compared to the 2019-20 school year.
Over the next two years, Save the Children Myanmar will be working to ensure the continuity of access to quality, inclusive education, through empowering communities to engage in support for quality education provision. Save the Children will provide children and communities with relevant, quality teaching and learning materials,build their capacity toensure the wellbeing and safety of children,andbuild the capacityof educatorsthrough continuous professional development. We will continue to innovate to solve the most challenging problems related to sustainability and quality learning for children in the most remote and conflict-affected areas.
STRATEGIC GOAL 4: Our goal is to ensure that children learn and develop in safe, quality and inclusive education through community systems.
