The Education Quality Framework (EQF) was created to provide consistent standards for education quality in migrant learning centers, through a comprehensive process of consultations and workshops with migrant education stakeholders beginning in November 2015. Following the pilot of the tool in 2016-2017, it has now been revised based on feedback from implementing partners and the school headmasters they support. The EQF tool is available in Myanmar language, Thai and English and has been approved by the Royal Thai Government’s Ministry of Education.
The tool EQF tool was finalized in July 2017, and based on implementing partner feedback, and a user manual was created and agreed by the implementing partners in Burmese language only. (Unformatted English PDF translation available by special request). A database was also developed for and housed with the 3 implementing partners to record and review their progress in the future. Implementing partners plan to conduct their next school assessments by November 2017 and will then meet to share results December 2017.
Thanks to the people and organizations who have made, and will continue to make, the EQF an effective tool for strengthening access to quality, recognized education for migrant children living on the Thai-Myanmar border. In particular, thanks goes to:
Implementing partners: The Burmese Migrant Workers’ Education Committee (BMWEC), The Burmese Migrant Teacher’s Association (BMTA) and Help Without Frontiers (HWF).
Wider migrant education stakeholders involved at various stages including the initial discussions, the creating and/or editing of the EQF: Mobile Education Partnerships (MEP), The Migrant Education Coordination Center (MECC), Save the Children, The Suwannimit Foundation, The Map Foundation and Colabora Birmania.
The EQF was developed through financial support from the USAID funded project for Local Empowerment (PLE), as well through support from a private foundation under our Pathways to Accredited Centers of Education (PACE) project.
