Description
The Parami School was established in 1998 to provide educational opportunities to the children of Burmese migrants and refugees. Since the coup by the military in 2021, the number of refugees has increased due to the civil war and political instability in Myanmar, and the number of students attending Parami School has increased significantly. The school is facing challenges such as aging school facilities and a shortage of school buses, dormitories and beds, and toilets for girls.Under the circumstance, JTU and JICHIRO have decided to support the Parami School. The students come from various backgrounds including ethnic minority groups. Common challenges among those families are poverty, limited access to education, political oppression, insecurities, human rights violations, historical ethnic conflicts among others. To address these challenges, Parami School integrates vocational training and human rights education into its curriculum.
Objectifs
