Educare for 21st Century

Mission

- Train 21st-century skills to community teachers to include in daily instruction for students to succeed in college, career, and life.

Vision

- Make a positive impact in the community and improve quality of learning for youth

Our Solution

- “Young Learners Program” with Blended Learning Model

Issues 1: Lack of Qualified Teachers

• One in four of Myanmar’s 380,000 teachers lack formal qualifications and practical training
• Lacking knowledge of ICT in Teaching

Issues 2: Quality of Education

• Education system does not support essentials skills for employment
• Literacy rate of youth and adult population Age 15-24 (70%), Age 15+ (47%) for low-income families (UNESCO)

Issues 3: Disabled Young People

• Two-thirds of disabled individuals did not have access to education
• More than 60 percent of deaf people never go to school, according to a national survey conducted by the government. 

1. Hosting “Young Learners Program” (Scholarship) Programs with blended learning platform for Community Teachers;
   • Young Learners Teaching Program
   • Intensive Care Teaching Program (For teaching deaf students)
2. In our community, the teachers played important roles and were role models in their communities and to the student. Teachers, therefore, have great potential to act as agents of change.
3. Teachers will be able to develop 21st century skill sets during the program and distribute them among the community upon completion.

Above program will focus on developing foundational skills (Languages, ICT Literacy) along with competencies skills (Communication, Collaboration, Creativity).

• During the recent years, the mobile penetration in Myanmar has risen. 80% of the population in Myanmar (Burma) use mobile and is still growing which makes it easier to access education using mobile applications
• However, traditional learning (face-to-face education) is still dominant in the culture. So we came up with the most suitable solution, Blended Learning Platform
• Our platform will be hosted on www.cceducaremm.com/educarefor21stcentury
• Registration will be completely free with the ability to access available educational articles, attend complimentary online training and participate in discussion topics
• Learners will register available scholarship training programs

• By collaborating with UNESCO, UNDP, MOE Education Sector Study for the development of teacher training and working with sponsorships
• Attaining funds from UN organizations, big corporations such as banks and telecommunication companies to host scholarship programs for training teachers
• As a next step, blended learning type can also offer 100% online capabilities for the teachers from South East Asia by collaborating with international non-profit organizations who are investing in education

• ICT Literacy
• Lack of Funding
• Online Learning is very new to the market (in Myanmar) and traditional teaching methods are still dominant even though there is high potential in the market
