I would like to extend a warm welcome to all Hi Burma visitors. I believe that education indeed impacts the quality of an individual’s life. I want to be instrumental in reforming the areas of Myanmar education that are often neglected. Despite recent efforts through the National Education Strategic Plan 2016-2021, rote learning, through chanting and repetition, still dominates. For all subjects, many Myanmar students learn textbooks by heart, without actually understanding the material, from kindergarten to university. I am aiming to provide alternative learning and teaching strategies, influenced by the cognitive science which is informing the latest developments in modern education.
May I add my welcome to our Hi Burma website. It has been a whirlwind adventure moving from in-person teacher training and English language lessons in Mandalay and beyond to online teaching. Establishing Homeschooling programmes with our team of wonderful volunteer teachers across Myanmar has been an additional major undertaking. Hope Institute Burma constitutes the effort of our staff team to remain dedicated to the design and delivery of free education to the disadvantaged. Sadly, ‘disadvantaged’ now describes many more people living in Myanmar, not only refugees.This is because the prevailing violence is now widespread and has disrupted or even deprived young people and children of education in any form.
Hope Institute Burma aims to provide free education for CDM active Myanmar youth and students from poor and disadvantaged backgrounds in addition to training and professional development for CDM teachers.
