Three migrant-learning centres are offering education programmes that qualify pupils for Myanmar graduation certificates to give migrant children an opportunity to more easily continue studying when they return to their home country, Thailand’s the Nation reported on 14 December.
The three centres - Parami, A Yon U and Kutahansa - are all located in the border province of Tak. 
The project aims to develop an educational management model suitable for migrants or other people who have residency-status problems. 
The initiative is the result of a collaboration between Foundation for Rural Youth and many organisations including Help Without Frontiers Foundation, the Children's Rights & Emergency Relief Organisation run by Unicef, the Myanmar Literacy Resource Centre (MLRC), and Myanmar's Ministry of Education.
There are more than 300,000 migrant children from Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia in Thailand, Laddawan Lakkaew, head of the Foundation for Rural Youth project said.
