MHEP (Minmahaw Higher Education Program) is a one-year intensive English-language university preparation program.
Mission Statement
“To empower the new generation to strive towards higher education, to compete internationally with their contemporaries in the information age, to be perceptive and to have a personal commitment to work for their community.”
MHEP is a one-year intensive study and boarding program, which prepares students to take the US General Education Development (GED) exam, to obtain an international high school equivalency certificate, which allows them to apply to universities with English language bachelor programs. The MHEP coursework, taught by professional foreign and Burmese teachers, focuses on providing the necessary skills to study at international universities. Students who show the necessary academic skills but are not able to get a government accreditation from their informal boarding schools, and therefore not able to apply to university, are our main priority. Most of our graduates obtain scholarships to Thai universities, but some are study in Hong Kong, Bangladesh, US, Vietnam, the Philippines and India. They have been consistently successful in their university studies, and some have returned to teach at our MEF programs. This program is fully supported by Child’s Dream.
“MHEP believes that by providing a path to higher education for those refugee and migrant students who show a strong commitment to their ethnic communities, we are encouraging a grassroots movement towards economic and social development where it is most needed.”
