The ESA highlighted the problematic access to education and training in rural and ethnic areas, for families with low income and in conflict affected regions. The ESA also pointed out that social exclusion in Myanmar, including in education, is associated with ethno-linguistic identity, and that Education services are insufficiently adapted to local context, notably in ethnic minority regions. As regards TVET, despite improvements in recent years the main constraint of the Myanmar's TVET sub-sector continues to be the mismatch between the TVET options offered and the skills demanded for economic development. The ESA moreover emphasised the need to expand TVET opportunities for disadvantaged groups such as people with disabilities, vulnerable youth, ethnic minority groups, the illiterate, underemployed and unemployed."}, {"bbox": [79, 1083, 1147, 1348], "category": "Text", "text": "During consultations with ECHO and its partner organisations, and development partners the need to involve communities from ethnic and crisis-affected areas in the planning process of education and technical and vocational programmes and activities was stressed, to ensure that the developed programmes respond to local context and labour market needs.

Non-formal education and technical and vocational training will be used as a catalyst to grow and expand local businesses and industries, as well as to support youth to start small businesses. This approach starts with community consultations with local leaders, businesses and industries, to better understand the needs and priorities for non-formal education and technical and vocational training to respond to local needs and to support community economic development. A key focus of this approach is to retain graduates within their communities and prevent a \"brain-drain\" of workers through outward migration to cities."}, {"bbox": [79, 1355, 627, 1381], "category": "Section-header", "text": "**Post-secondary education and professional development**"}, {"bbox": [79, 1387, 1147, 1626], "category": "Text", "text": "The second priority area of the action builds on and extends the EU's Support to Higher Education in the ASEAN Region (EU SHARE) programme, which has been providing short-term student mobility opportunities and institutional capacity building to Myanmar in a regional ASEAN context.
