Education Programme
A world with education for all
"All children have the right to lead productive and fulfilling lives. We help make this happen by supporting them with an inclusive, quality education for life in a nurturing and safe learning environment.”
For over 25 years, World Vision International Myanmar has been committed to early childhood education and ensuring children stay in school. We focus on quality learning environments, teacher support, and empowering parents to be a child’s first educator. Our programmes align with Sustainable Development Goal 4, promoting inclusive, equitable, and lifelong learning opportunities.
We deliver education programmes in 12 States and Regions in Myanmar, with a focus on enhancing Early Childhood Development (ECD), boosting literacy skills for young learners, empowering parents as first teachers and protectors, supporting teachers for inclusive education, and strengthening local communities for lasting change.
