- Project Overview
The teaching approach often observed in Myanmar is memorizing educational contents by recital and rote memorization. To transform such approach to Student-Centered Approach (SCA) in which students themselves think and seek for answers, it is quite important to change the mindset of teachers and enhance their capacities. By introducing simplified “IGO” and “Rugby” into primary schools, the project aims to enhance teachers’ capacities by establishment of a system where teachers and students communicate with each other and students develop their creativity and concentration abilities. Since 2018, we have been conducting such training program for primary school teachers in Ayeyarwaddy district. In the future, we aim to propose the nationwide introduction of the program to Ministry of Education (Science and Technology) in Myanmar.
