2019-20 Myanmar Development Program Progress Report

The Myanmar Education Quality Improvement Program (My-EQIP) aims to improve education policy, planning, budgeting, and management through development of inclusive systems for education quality improvement. My-EQIP is a joint initiative between the Government of Myanmar, through the Ministry of Education (MoE), and the Australian Government, through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT). DFAT commissioned a Mid-Term Review (MTR) to assess progress towards the achievement of expected outcomes and to inform future planning for a potential future phase of the program.

In partnership with the Government of Australia, UNESCO's Strengthening Pre-Service Teacher Education in Myanmar (STEM) project has been working with the Myanmar Ministry of Education (MoE) since July 2014 to improve pre-service teacher education. Phase 2 of STEM, which commenced in January 2017, underwent a Mid-Term Evaluation (MTE) in 2019 to assess the extent to which STEM was delivering its intended outcomes. The MTE examined progress from January 2017 to April 2019. The findings of the MTE will inform implementation under Phase 2 of the project and support decision making regarding the design of Phase 3.
