In 2013, Myanmar launched its first multi-sectoral policy on ECCD for children 0-8 years. The Social Welfare, Relief and Resettlement (SWRR) ministry at the time pledged an increase to 28% of its budget towards ECCD services while the Education ministry commits 12% of its budget towards pre-school education.
Since 1999, armed conflicts have affected provisions of early education and early years social services. However, improvements can be observed as the country stabilizes.
A new curriculum for preschools and daycare centers, as well as teachers’ manual and guidelines for children under age 3 have been developed. The public sector has since increased ECCD services as private provisions decline.
