Increasing the number of girls and women in the classroom, both among students and as teachers, has been one of the aims of the AHP Education in Emergencies response in Myanmar. 19-year-old Yamin Khin now has the opportunity to work as an Assistant Volunteer Teacher at the same learning centre where she studied.

Volunteer teachers at temporary learning centres in Myanmar’s IDP camps have been empowered to improve their skills inside and outside the classroom through training and resources delivered by Save the Children.

For students living in Myanmar’s Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps, access to temporary learning centres has been a lifeline. Students are enthusiastically back in the classroom after COVID-19 closed the centres for more than a year.

With schools and learning centres closed for nearly a full academic year due to COVID-19, AHP partners have supported home-based learning in Myanmar’s IDP camps.

Women and girls in displaced persons camps in Rakhine state, Myanmar, face many barriers to education and employment. Through the AHP Education in Emergencies response, women and girls are being encouraged into the classroom as both students and teachers.

As a female and a person living with disabilities living in an IDP camp, Showat faces a number of challenges accessing an education in Myanmar. The AHP Education in Emergencies response is working to provide improve access to education.
