Ethnic Education in Myanmar

Description

The Myanmar Education Consortium (MEC) was established in 2013 to support the provision of education services for marginalised, under-served children. With an updated strategy developed for 2021-2025, MEC adopted a ‘systems-strengthening’ approach, to provide support for the development of ethnic and monastic complementary education systems. The programme works with established education providers to place a focus on developing the quality and inclusivity of education in Myanmar for improved retention, completion and learning outcomes. The programme is hosted by Save the Children. MEC is a multi-donor program with funding from Australia, Finland, UK and the United States.
