Sustainable Impact as a Core Value at NIDA: Strengthening Higher Education for Myanmar Academics and Postgraduate Students
In response to the political upheaval in Myanmar affecting educational access, NIDA has actively supported Myanmar students and academics. A key achievement is NIDA’s partnership with the Institute of International Education (IIE), facilitating the enrollment of the first cohort of Myanmar students in the Master’s program in Public Administration for 2024. This year, four more graduate schools at NIDA will welcome Myanmar students under this collaboration. NIDA has also partnered with Indiana University to launch the Myanmar Teacher Professional Development Project, providing intensive training for educators to enhance their teaching skills and empower community contributions. Currently, 66 Myanmar students are enrolled in various graduate programs at NIDA, and the Graduate School of Language and Communication plans to implement training focused on 21st-century skills before their postgraduate studies. These initiatives not only address immediate educational needs but also establish a strong foundation for Myanmar’s long-term educational development.
