Background:
Myanmar has experienced multiple humanitarian crises, and the escalation of armed conflicts has exacerbated the dire situation facing vulnerable children and their families. With extended learning losses, there is an urgent need for all children to be able to access safe learning opportunities to ensure they do not fall even further behind, and to help them to catch up when they are able to access full or partial returns to the classroom. The need is particularly acute for the most disadvantaged children, who have little access to private and/or online learning opportunities. UNICEF Myanmar is promoting access to quality education through low tech and piloting innovative digital learning solutions for foundational
literacy and numeracy. UNICEF Myanmar aims to significantly expand access to learning using education technology over the next two years of programming.
About the Programme:
UNICEF Education programme provides a variety of education support across regions to the most marginalized learners in Myanmar. This includes providing learning and teaching material in different languages, refurbishing learning spaces, and providing supplementary education through community hubs and outreach programmes. A key innovation of the educational programme is its emphasis on alternative learning pathways that can be adapted to Myanmar's complex context. The initiative employs a community-based learning approach, with community-based learning spaces supporting learners from early childhood through secondary education levels. These spaces are equipped with curated libraries, learning materials, and technology, including the Learning Passport. This assignment will support the Education Section in expanding its implementation of digital learning opportunities for both foundational literacy and numeracy as well as providing skilling opportunities to adolescents.
