Online Teacher Training in Kachin
Despite the current, desperate situation in Myanmar, MEP remains committed to its mission of supporting both teachers and students in communities affected by war, poverty and neglect. In adapting to both the difficult political climate and the pandemic, MEP are working on a new project in Kachin State, with an emphasis on online support.
Over the course of four months, the project aims to provide an online teacher training and English language programme for local teachers in Kachin State, Northern Myanmar. Twenty teachers will complete the programme and as a result, up to six-hundred children will receive an improved quality of education in schools affected by conflict and neglect.

WHAT ARE OUR CURRENT PROJECTS?
Our trainers work in some of the most difficult to reach parts of the world and with some of the most disadvantaged communities, affected by conflict and poverty. We currently have projects running in Mawlamyine and Myitkyina in Myanmar, as well as Mae Sot in Thailand.
FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS
MEP are responsive to need and new projects are always being considered. We often receive requests to expand our programme and these are always taken seriously. If the project meets our criteria, requests are followed up by in-country viability studies.
TEACHER TRAINING WITH MEP
Find out more about how MEP works. We have developed a unique and innovative model of teacher training. Our mobile units work with local refugee and migrant teachers and children at grassroots level forming meaningful partnerships with local teachers and impacting the learning of thousands of children every year.
Building on many years’ experience of working in difficult conditions MEP has created an innovative and effective system of training which is sensitive to differing perceptions of education and cultural and social norms.
We hope that what we do has a human face. I am very proud of the work of our teams and am very happy to talk to you about any aspect of our work.
