The Karen Teacher Working Group (KTWG) is a community-based organization working to improve access to and quality of basic education for ethnic Karen children in Karen areas of Eastern Burma since 1997.
We do this by training teachers and school management committees, working with parents and communities, providing education assistance funds and materials for schools and working to help strengthen education administration structures in Karen areas.
In 2011 we began to share our model of working in Karen areas with other ethnic groups and helped develop a multi ethnic network of education actors. This network is now using the KTWG model to assist their own schools and communities across Burma's indigenous areas.
