Educasia started in 2008 as a replication of the successful program The
Curriculum Project. Our Vision The Curriculum Department of Thabyay works for a
future with: A society offering relevant and equal educational opportunities for
all Active citizens with appropriate knowledge and skills to participate in the
peaceful development of their communities and society Educasia’s Mission
Educasia supports the development of post-secondary and adult education
initiatives in Myanmar. Its focus is on non-formal groups working for positive
social change and development. Thabyay’s Curriculum Department prepares and
distributes contest-appropriate curricular materials and teacher training. It
focuses on preparing adult learners from marginalized communities in Myanmar for
effective participation in developing their communities, and for further
education. The Curriculum Department currently operates two programs: Educasia
works to support the development of non-government post-secondary and adult
education initiatives in Myanmar. Educasia’s objectives include: Enabling
students in post-secondary and adult education to develop the skills and
knowledge required to participate effectively in the development of their
communities, and pursue meaningful further education. Building the capacity of
teachers in low-resource post-secondary and adult education to develop
student-centered teaching skills and create active analytical learning
environments. Supporting post-secondary and adult education programs, in both
formal and informal settings, to develop and implement effective
context-appropriate curricula and syllabi which prepare learners to participate
effectively in the development of their communities, and pursue meaningful
further education. The Curriculum Project’s objectives are broadly similar to
Educasia, except that the program works with Myanmar populations (refugees,
exiles, and migrants) based along Myanmar’s borders.
