Help 200 Students From Burma Study for University

We at Thabyay Education Foundation would like to express our deep gratitude for your support the Exam Preparation Outreach Program's (EPOP’s) project, 'Help 200 students from Burma study for university' on Global Giving.
EPOP is on process of March-August 2015 period with the series of three courses namely Academic English 1 & 2, TOEFL ITP exam preparation. Starting this year, EPOP received a total of 149 new applications which proposed to join the online TOFEL Preparation courses. Students are administered the Final Diagnostic Test (FDT) both in Thailand and Myanmar in the month of March 2015. The students form Cambodia continued their course as AE1 & 2 and TOFEL ITP this year.
Currently, EPOP is handling 185 students joining online courses. A total of 28 students sit the TOFEL ITP exam in the month of April 2015 to enforce their further study. After midterm evaluation of diagnostics test, some students will be informed to sit the TOFEL ITP in future months.
Here is the comment from the EPOP graduate students;
“Finally, I got a scholarship and I am now a Master of English Language Teaching student in Assumption University, Thailand. I have never dreamed of to attend the international university. EPOP has opened many doors for me. I arrive here with the supports of EPOP. Being a Master student, the academic writing and listening skill that I have learned from EPOP are helping me a lot. Thanks so much EPOP. I am not here without you. “Said by “Ei” from Kayin State, Myanmar.
“Now I got the higher TOFEL scores after joining with EPOP since last year. I am so happy and feel confident to apply the scholarship for my further studies in abroad. I am really thank you EPOP Team, who made me this achievement” said by “Thai” 19 years old engineering student.
Without your help and supports they could not have made these achievements. On behalf of our students and the project team, I would like to express my sincere thanks to everyone who supports our programme.
We are looking forward with great enthusiasm and accomplishment of EPOP students from various locations from Myanmar, Thailand-Myanmar border area and Cambodia.
If you have any questions about the project, or about our work, please do get in touch with EPOP.
Thank you for your support!
With our best wishes,

We at Thabyay Education Foundation would like to express our deep gratitude for your support the Exam Preparation Outreach Program's (EPOP’s) project, 'Help 200 students from Burma study for university' on GlobalGiving.

During 2014, EPOP served 373 students with its three courses (Academic English 1 & 2, TOEFL ITP exam preparation), provided 121 certificates for students having completed EPOP courses and 130 Official TOEFL ITP exams of which students received official transcripts usable for university entrance. More than 50% of the participants received financial aid regarding course fee and learning materials in 2014, following EPOP’s earlier developed standards.

Parallel to this, EPOP reached so far every state and region in Myanmar, except for Magway region, which result shows - compared to 2013`s result - a great progress. EPOP is keen to keep this élan on the same level in 2015 as well to deliver its services to the marginalized groups in each and every state and region.

In September the second semester started with 186 participants. All students had the chance to measure their progress acquired since the beginning of the course, hence EPOP team arranged midterm diagnostic tests in Myanmar, Thailand and Cambodia at the beginning of December. Based on their final diagnostic tests' results taken at the beginning of March EPOP is going to give them TOEFL ITP exam in April, 2015.

We are looking forward with great enthusiasm to starting the new semester at the end of March, due to the more than 140 new applications that we received from various locations from Myanmar and from the Thailand-Myanmar border area.

Thank you for your support!

We would sincerely like to thank everyone who has supported us over the past year.

With our best wishes,
