🌍Burmese Language Skills & MTB-MLE: Key Steps for Rohingya Education?🌍 Since July 2022, the Myanmar Curriculum has been scaled up in the Rohingya response, following government directives. In alignment with this, an Accelerated Learning Program (ALP) Package 1 & 2 was developed, tailored to support over-aged and out-of-school adolescents based on the new Myanmar Curriculum. These ALPs provide over-aged youth with certified competencies, equivalent to basic education, enabling them to transition into formal schooling, vocational training, or the workforce. ALPs have proven to be a crucial solution to address the educational needs of over-age, out-of-school children and youth. By offering equivalent education pathways, they provide a chance for these learners to re-enter formal education at age-appropriate grades or transition to other opportunities. 🔍 Key Considerations for Strengthening Implementation: Technical Personnel Capacity in Burmese Language: There is a pressing need to assess the technical personnel’s Burmese language proficiency. To ensure effective implementation of the Myanmar Curriculum, it may be valuable to integrate language training into the education sector strategy. Mother Tongue-Based Multilingual Education (MTB-MLE): Given that Rohingya learners primarily speak their mother tongue, with Burmese as a second language and English as a third, is MTB-MLE needed right now? This is an important question as we consider sustainable approaches to learning and language preservation. 💡 What are your thoughts? Your insights and recommendations on these areas would be invaluable as we continue working to create inclusive and effective education solutions in the Rohingya response. #RohingyaEducation #CoxsBazar #MyanmarCurriculum #AcceleratedLearning #MTBMLE
