Myanmar

Education is the flagship of Australia's aid program in Myanmar. Our investments are enhancing human development by improving access to quality education, through support to schools, teacher training and scholarships. Our investments recognise that addressing barriers to quality education helps to build a peaceful and prosperous society and contributes to Myanmar's democratic transition.

Prior to the February 2021 military coup, Myanmar had been navigating multiple complex transitions: from military rule to a democratic government, from a closed to an open market economy and from conflict to peace. The coup and its aftermath has reversed many of the gains made and significantly amplified Myanmar's humanitarian and development challenges.
