This document summarizes the current state of education in Myanmar and its future direction. It notes that the education sector is fragmented with an overemphasis on rote learning and lack of skills. Reforms have included a comprehensive education sector review and drafting a national education law. The vision for higher education is to generate a learning society and knowledge-based economy. Challenges include improving pedagogy, teacher quality, and linking education to job markets. The future of education is focused on increasing accessibility, empowering rural areas, international engagement, and lifelong learning to promote sustainable development. Urgent needs include strengthening institutions, curriculum reform, and prioritizing equity and diversity in education.

On March 28, DepEd Secretary Armin Luistro presented “The State of Education” to the members of the Philippine Business for Education. He
emphasized the trifocalization of education in the Philippines between DepEd, CHED, and TESDA.
Sec. Armin discussed DepEd’s performance indicators, their change agenda, budget trends, resources, current initiatives, and strategic directions. The K + 12 Basic Education Program was identified as a flagship reform strategy. Also discussed were DepEd initiatives to address the shortage on classrooms, teachers, sanitation facilities, textbooks, and school seats. Apart from K + 12, DepEd has focused on adopting the indigenous people education framework,
strengthening the use of ICT in education, and implementing the five key reforms of the Basic Education Reform Agenda: a) school-based management; b)
national learning strategies; c) quality assurance and accountability; d) complementary interventions; and e) institutional culture change.
