In domains including politics, education, and security, we work closely with nation-states, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, regional organizations and civil society organizations. We solidly follow the attribute of a government that shall have capacity to enter into relationships with other states for the interest of the state. One of the main competitive advantages of the modern state in the “global competition for minds” is the international affairs department’s attempt to engage with the world since the Ministry of Education was established under the National Unity Government. We are trying to integrate our federal education system into the international educational and scientific space. In order to emphasize that education is the key to the future of our nation, we have been working with international organizations and receiving more and more partnerships globally.

In 2022, the International Affairs Department of the Ministry of Education of the National Unity Government of Myanmar signed a Memorandum of Understanding with a Korean university in the Republic of Korea to further strengthen bilateral educational ties, emphasize the significant influence of education on social and human resource development, and acknowledge the mutual benefits of closer educational ties between the two nations. About 30 students were sent to the Republic of Korea on full and partial scholarships under the terms of the MOU within two years of 2022 and 2023.
The International Affairs Department of the NUG MOE set up several meetings with the members of the Institute for Myanmar United to help implement and plan a programme of English Language Club (ELC) that delivered the students a way forward for improving their English Language skills in a less formal education than classroom learning and grades. University Students under NUG-MOE, ages 18–30, are provided opportunities to learn from and practice speaking English with Native English speakers for scholarships and future career goals. Through several meetings with IMU, the Ministry agreed to set up multi step plan for implementation, 1) Large Scale Assessment of English Language Skills/Beliefs/Behaviors 2) Deliver Creativity Through English pilot program by (soon to be) Dr. Knudsen 3) Using results of assessment (s) for fundraising and grants to support English programming 4) Developing Curriculums for English Language Instruction 5) Developing Assessment for Initial Medium to Large Scale Pilot of English Language Instruction 6) Deliver Curriculums for English Language Instruction at medium to large scale 7) Continuing, Iterative Efforts Then, we called for an online registration form to students from 245 university interim councils. Although there were 298 applicants for joining ELC, only 42 students were invited for the 60 hours course. The course covers 5 units Unit 1: Introduction Lesson with William Talking about Creativity with Tanya Songs + Music with William (student chosen topic) Songs + Music with Jeremy (student chosen topic)
Unit 2: Social Media Basics With William Common Verbs and Adjectives with Jeremy Social Media Calendar + Scheduling with William Student chosen topic with Jeremy

ELC ran for three months, with our hosting the Opening Ceremony on September 26 and the Closing Ceremony on December 6, 2023. Students had the opportunity to practice their English with native speakers in a laid-back setting at ELC. With a participant-centered approach, ELC hopes to have students talking and interacting with one another informally as well as in small groups about tales, history, music, movies, and other topics. Students can purchase data costs and a completion certificate from NUG-MOE.

The Ministry of Education under the National Unity Government (NUG-MOE) pays great attention to how to provide educational services to children in Myanmar, both offline and online. Moreover, NUG-MOE has been offering humanitarian aid to migrants, refugees, and stateless children on the Indian and Thai borders because Myanmar people fled to Thailand by crossing the border and asked the Ministry of Education to resume their education that had been interrupted by numerous perpetrations against their families by the military junta. The International Affairs (IA) department of NUG-MOE organized for migrant and refugee children to attend schools in Mae Sot and to establish a mobile school in Manipur in the academic years 2022-2023, 2023-2024, as the parents of migrants and refugees who are unable to work or enroll their kids in school because of their illegal status. The NUG-MOE is extremely worried about the children’s missed opportunities for education. In order to ensure the right to education and the protection of human dignity in accordance with Article 26 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the IA department met with migrant schools in Mae Sot to accommodate children from migrant families, internally displaced people, and refugees. After consulting with migrant schools, a schoolmaster made the decision to permit NUG-MOE transferred students to stay until they leave for a third country or come home.
The IA Department of the NUG-MOE, which has taken up residence in Mae Sot and in Manipur, ran this project for migrant children whose parents are on the move due to the persecution of the military junta, forced displacement by internal armed conflicts, and economic impacts caused by the COVID-19 epidemic and political crisis. As children have been suffering from severe depression from a serious attack from the military coup, NUG-MOE deeply considers their physical strength, child development, health impacts, and the best interests of the child. As the MSP project intends to bring formal education with Burmese curriculum according to the Myanmar education system, there was proof of documentation in the last year that indicates the numbers of enrolled students for tangible output. Otherwise, the data of the enrolled students, the protective scheme, grading records, monthly reports, midterm reports, and project completion reports shall be measurable.
In the project, in the academic year 2022-2023, 85 children were given admission fees of 1,000 Baht to attend at the New Blood Education Centre in Mae Sot, Thailand. Due to the arms conflict in 2023-2024, the number of migratory children on the Thai-Myanmar border and the India-Myanmar border has skyrocketed, according to a survey by NUG-MOE. Then, NUG-MOE supported school admission for 365 students in Mae Sot and 200 students in Manipur. The Ministry of Education has been developing a long-term, cohesive, and rights-based approach to assisting migrants and refugees who fled to Thailand owing to a well-founded fear of persecution by the military regime. As a result, we are now attempting to support more children than the number of students in previous years. There will be hundreds of newcomers to border areas due to the forcefully recruited civilians to serve as military personnel according to the unfair conscription order by the military junta.

The International Affairs (IA) Department of the Ministry of Education under the National Unity Government operates the English Language Club (ELC) for university students online and for migrant children on the ground at migrant learning centers in Mae Sot. After the Migrant Schooling Project, the IA department attempts to fill the needs of students to improve their English language skills in a less formal education than classroom learning and grades. The ELC for migrant children was carried out from September 2023 to February 2024 and is based on “Young Learners English,” which is designed by Cambridge English. And, the teachers from the IA department of the NUG-MOE teach starter courses for students in grades 2–5 and mover courses for students in grades 6–9 at New Wave Learning Centre and Parami School. After placement tests for both courses, there were about 60 students at each school. The ELC-Young Learners project raises the migrant children’s language skills as below:
Reading
Children do challenges to demonstrate their ability to read and comprehend simple English texts. In this example for starters, they can demonstrate understanding of sentences describing a visual by writing ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Children who improve their reading skills can read books, comics, and articles and comprehend lengthy texts. They then have critical thinking skills in the writing process.
Writing
For writing skills, colourful pictures make the activity fun and easy to understand. Children can write words and sentences to describe the picture, and then they have analytical skills for reasonable thinking.
Listening
Listening activities are designed to show how well the children can understand simple English words and grammar. Children will listen to the tracks, think quickly, and then identify the correct answers to show they have understood. They will develop a wider vocabulary as they progress through the levels.
Speaking
Speaking tasks are fun when using colourful pictures. In the speaking activity, children are able to describe the differences between pictures and share with friends the things they watched. Watch our series of free videos with subtitles; children can sing along and practice their vocabulary. Trainers support and encourage the children to train so that they can speak English very fluently and accurately.
The project organised a final assessment for four skills following a 60-hour course and provided a certificate of completion. Just 70 of the 120 students enrolled at the start of the programme got completion certificates. About fifty pupils left the programmes because of weekend class scheduling and security concerns that make parents hesitant to send their kids to school on the weekends. On February 17, 2024, NUG-MOE hosted a closing event to issue certificates, during which the students performed an entertainment show.
