Myanmar Education Support

We are supporting four schools in Myanmar to ensure uninterrupted education, retain qualified teachers, alleviate financial burdens on families during this crisis and reduce student absenteeism.

Myanmar education continues to be severely disrupted following the 2021 military coup. School closures, violence against schools and teacher shortage due to the Civil Disobedience Movement and the ongoing nationwide conflicts have led to millions of children being out of school.

To cope with the crisis, local communities are also stepping up to support education, with volunteer teachers and community-run schools. The ongoing conflicts, coupled with soaring inflation and persistent road blockages, have crippled the local economy. Families struggle to afford school fees, placing schools at risk of closure due to unpaid teacher salaries.
