We are delighted to introduce the second in a series of four reports exploring education and peacebuilding in specific country contexts from the Research Consortium on Education and Peacebuilding.
Written by researchers from the University of Amsterdam team, in partnership with local researchers in Myanmar, the report explores education and peacebuilding in Myanmar from three viewpoints:
- The Integration of Peacebuilding into Education Policies and Programmes.
- The Role of Teachers in Peacebuilding.
- The Role of Formal and Non Formal Youth Education Initiatives.
Consortium teams carried out research in four countries over the course of the project: Myanmar, Pakistan, South Africa, and Uganda.
Each team will produce a specific country report which, alongside thematic Literature Reviews, will form the basis for three synthesis reports addressing the three areas outlined above.
In addition, throughout the research project and as a cross cutting theme in all three areas, the research project aims to understand the dynamics and impact of various forms of direct and indirect violence in relation to education systems and educational actors in situations of conflict. Each thematic focus will also include a gender analysis.
A number of research outputs are available in order to access the findings of the Myanmar research team:
- Briefing note outlining key issues and possible ways forward (3 pages)
- Executive Summary (10 pages)
- Executive Summary (Burmese)
- Country Report Summary (35 pages)
