Freedom to Education for Young People in Myanmar

Written by the HHM Education team

Over the past three to four months, the Education Team has been deeply involved in various initiatives and efforts, all carefully planned to support the academic progress, personal growth, and prospects of the students we serve. Our dedication to their success has remained strong, leading us to take on various activities including monitoring and evaluation, proposal development, student support, curriculum implementation, university exploration, and guidance provision.

Individual student support has been a focal point of our activities, as we sought to address specific challenges and barriers to success. Instances of irregular attendance and academic underperformance prompted targeted interventions, including the signing of contracts delineating expectations and consequences.

 Parallel to our individualised support initiatives, we embarked on broader curriculum development, endeavours aimed at enhancing student well-being and academic excellence. Our collaboration with HHUK resulted in the launch of a Pastoral Care Curriculum, tailored to meet the unique needs of our students and provide them with holistic support beyond the confines of the academic realm. This ongoing collaboration underscores our commitment to nurturing not just academic success but also personal growth and resilience.

The education team organised a farewell program for our students who have completed their Class 12 examinations. We invited our CEO, Dr. Sakie Zawtha, along with HHM staff, to join the programme.

During the programme, we took a moment to reflect on how important education and support from our community can be in helping young people transform their lives for the better. It was a meaningful reminder of the impact we can have when we come together to support one another. 

 The education team has also assisted students in applying for passports in Myanmar for further studies. Additionally, the team is actively searching for colleges and universities for Class 12 students. This involves identifying suitable institutions that align with the student's academic interests and future goals, as well as providing guidance throughout the application process.

Looking ahead, our commitment remains steadfast as we continue to support students in their academic endeavours, facilitate their transition to higher education institutions, and empower them to realise their full potential.

Thank you to all our supporters who continue to partner with us.
