Myanmar's prolonged humanitarian and education crises have significantly reduced access to formal education and skills-development opportunities for adolescents and young people. Many adolescents are out of school, displaced, engaged in informal work, or unable to participate regularly in structured learning programmes. UNICEF supports non-formal education through community learning centres, monastic schools and other community-based learning spaces managed by implementing partners. UNICEF Myanmar is implementing an Adolescent Digital Skilling Programme through existing learning spaces, using tablets, internet connectivity, the Learning Passport and facilitator-supported learning. The programme currently provides courses in areas such as digital literacy, financial literacy and career development, while collecting learner feedback to identify further learning needs. The programme is also generating practical learning on the infrastructure, device-management, classroom-operation and technology arrangements required to deliver digital education in different contexts. UNICEF is additionally exploring smallscale proof-of-concept initiatives involving offline digital learning through Raspberry Pi and offline AI tools for teacher support, particularly for locations with limited connectivity. The purpose of this assignment is to review and document evidence and lessons from these initiatives and translate them into practical recommendations for UNICEF Myanmar's future adolescent skilling and digital education programming.
