Short Session Description: We will introduce New Education Highway (NEH).
Full Session Description: NEH is a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization whose vision is that all individuals have access to an open, quality education, so that they can gain the confidence and skills that they need to actively improve their societies and communities, access higher education and job opportunities, develop their passions, think critically and creatively, and access their inner entrepreneurial spirit. NEH uses its offline learning interface (based largely on open educational resources), technological tools, partnerships with existing community organizations, and targeted teacher-training, to provide communities – including those without an internet connection – access to an open, quality education, and to many of the world’s most inspiring ideas and thinkers. NEH currently has 11 Free Education Centers in Myanmar, and will launch 4 new centers in Myanmar, and one in Pakistan, in January. For more information please visit the NEH website.
