Myanmar Education Cluster
Education is a fundamental human right for all and is particularly critical for children and youth affected by conflict and disasters. A coordinated education response, bringing together all actors – UN agencies, NGOs, CSOs and local partners – is essential to ensure all children and youth affected by crises in Myanmar have access to protective, quality education opportunities.
The Education Cluster website includes all EiE events, activities, meetings and resources in an effort to foster collaboration and share best practices across different actors, sectors, clusters and AoRs.

CHILD SAFEGUARDING
The Global Education Cluster (GEC) has announced the launch of a new self-paced training module on “Child safeguarding in coordination with the GEC and other Clusters/ AoRs”. The 50-minute e-learning module introduces child safeguarding; it clarifies the differences between child protection and PSEA, it also explains why and how Education Clusters and EiE Working Groups can embed child safeguarding in their coordination functions. It provides an overview of child safeguarding organizational responsibilities of individual Cluster Partners. This module is primarily aimed at Education Cluster/EiE Working Group Coordination teams but is also relevant and recommended by UNICEF and the GEC to other Clusters/AoRs/Sectors.
If you are interested, please access the online training for free on AGORA (UNICEF Learning site) in English here: https://agora.unicef.org/course/info.php?id=34857
Please do consider sharing within your organization and encouraging staff to complete the module (again, only 50 minutes are required).
MINE ACTION
This is the free interactive Mine Risk Education training for Myanmar. The training takes around 50 minutes and takes you through key messages on how to stay safe and prevent death and injuries from landmines, unexploded ordnance and other explosive devices in affected areas. You will also learn how to recognize dangerous and suspicious items and areas; what to do if you see suspicious items or areas and learn what might happen if you do not follow safe ways.
So for you and your family’s safety, you can learn about explosive and their dangers, do’s and don’ts, in this training. Therefore, please pay attention to the messages and carefully go through the activities.
The content of this interactive MRE application has been built around the five key messages which are central to the MRE storyboard and other components of the MRE toolkit, designed in 2015.
NOTE: The app is based on a direct English audio translation of the original MRE Myanmar Application which was developed in Myanmar language. Consequently, you will see some synchronization errors between images and sounds. This version of the application has only been translated to provide an English overview of the original content.
