In Myanmar, the education system was already challenged by chronic underfunding, fragmentation, poor quality, and unequal access. Key workplace skills were lacking for businesses to thrive. The impact of the coup and ongoing conflict has made this situation worse, and the education system has collapsed.
The education of Myanmar’s young people has been jeopardised, and it is expected that this situation will persist for several years. Myanmar is in danger of losing significant human capital which will affect the social and economic status of the country for decades. There will be a lost generation who lack the knowledge and skills to support the development of their economy, run the infrastructure and improve public welfare.

The supported scholarships will contribute to key areas fundamental for the creation of an enabling environment for social investment:
