Home/Our schools

BMWEC is conducting a pilot project with the Thai Ministry of Education for the proper recognition of Migrant Education. This project involves providing accreditation to migrant schools by the government. We have come far, but the process is very long and we started only two years ago.

We are still only half way and need much more international support to succeed. Advocacy and awareness is a necessity for the schools, which are still illegal, to be able to run.

Our Schools

One aspect that defines the character of the people of Burma is their thirst for knowledge. They don't take education for granted.

Parents, though living at subsistence levels, are setting education as a priority. Well aware that education is the key to improving their children lives, they are taking the initiative and asking for assistance to start schools. These schools often have parents fees as the only funding.

Our schools are from nursery to post ten program and are located in Thailand and in IDPs (Internally Displaced Persons) area inside Karen State, Burma. Currently we have 62 migrant learning centres coming to join us for this school year, 2008/09
