On November 12, 2012, BEAM, the Mae Tao Clinic, and MAP Foundation co-hosted a strategic seminar in Mae Sot, Thailand, for leaders in migrant education. Over 50 attendees representing more than 20 schools and education-related organizations discussed the need for standardization and accreditation of the migrant education system. The group recognized that this is a critical time to come together given the governmental changes in Myanmar and Thailand as well as increased activity by ASEAN. A follow-up meeting to include MLCs in other parts of Thailand is currently being planned, and work groups are being formed to develop strategies for the improvement of access to education and to assure high-quality, affordable and sustainable education opportunities for all of Myanmar’s displaced persons. We are very pleased to be part of this important initiative which is bringing migrant education leaders together to advocate for change with one collective voice.
