Education is under attack in Myanmar’s growing civil war. Since the February 2021 coup:
- More than 500 schools have been destroyed by arson or airstrikes
- 959 students have been detained by the military for opposing the coup
- There are many reports of students shot or tortured to death
After two years of COVID-19 closures, schools and universities remain largely empty because of the dangers, and also students and teachers refusing to comply with the military’s administration.
An entire generation is being denied a future. Read more in our Spring Newsletter, and what Prospect Burma is doing in response.
Prospect Burma offers hope – and practical, targeted support – to equip individuals and organisations with expertise to match their energy and dedication to build an alternative, peaceful future.
We work with local partners to provide access to critical thinking skills and formal education from post-high school level upwards. We offer scholarships to quality higher education abroad which isn’t available in Myanmar. Read our latest impact report.
