LessonApp is delighted and proud to introduce you our diligent and skilled partners who are helping us and local change makers – teachers – in different parts of the globe. Together we can provide LessonApp localized version aiming to increase the impact in education and ultimately quality education for all.
Our company is founded in 2015, aiming to contribute in some portion of the education development for the country, Myanmar (Burma). We synthesize teaching aid for the National Curriculum which are not available for some time at public schools and students and teachers in Myanmar are not using any kind of teaching aid till then. Students are usually taking rout learning from primary to middle and high school. We initiated the introduction and use of teaching aid at public and private schools and distribute countrywide together with technology support and hands-on practical services.
Currently, Myanmar is implementing Education Reform according to National Education Strategic Plan (2016 – 2021) and has been changing National Curriculum as well as teaching methodologies. This new National Curriculum teaching methods include; ITPR techniques (Introduction, Teaching, Practice and Reflections) which are quite similar to Building Blocks of LessonApp (Orientation, New Knowledge Acquisition, Practicing and Reflection) methods, that is used in Finland. On top of that LessonApp includes Grouping and Warm-up + Action Breaks as phases of a lesson and student activation. We found that there´s a lot of similarities between the two approaches and hope that we could modify suitable ways of teaching, learning method using teaching aid between our country and Finland which will lead us to more effective and user friendly 21st century education. Thus, we are confident to start strong collaboration with LessonApp. All of the content in LessonApp (like video clips, distance teaching methods, lesson planning tool etc.) has been translated and localized to our own language and will be introduced to our school teachers. We believe that if they could use LessonApp properly in the near future, their teaching methods and attitude on education will be changed and that will lead to the development of our future generations and for our country.

Pakistan is the 5th largest young country in the world, with more than 63 % population comprises youth aged between 15 and 33. Our current generation is digital native and born into a highly technological world. They inhabit, navigate, and communicate within a society which is both technologically and information rich. They function best when networked, receive information fast. We need to provide them an environment where they could excel and compete globally.
Education and Training for Quality Assurance Network (ETQAN) International is working closely with the education providers to influence and improve the lives of young learners. The ETQAN take care of children’s academic, social and emotional development needs. ETQAN main role is to raise standards of teaching and learning through rigorous inspection, provide support services, feedback, and submit report on the outcomes, to bring the institutions at par with international teaching and learning practices. We believe that through this inbuilt mechanism of ETQAN the overall performance of an institution will improve and resultantly the learners will play their role in country’s economic development. We recognize that every educational and training institution is different in terms of practices, which is why we offer the right combination of resources and services for quality assurance & quality improvement to build capacity for improvement and sustain the progress. We have an excellent track record of supporting educational and training institutions at all levels to help schools improve their overall progress.
We further believe that ETQAN will set guidelines to address the educational needs of the country at large. It is expected that ETQAN will seeks to establish a coherent, integrated education and training system that provides a platform for a unifying approach. It will set standards of learning outcomes that are relevant to national socio-economic development.
ETQAN international has launched a schooling system after a decade research and observing worldwide teaching and learning practices. What we have found that teachers are teaching curriculum and evaluating at the end of each term. We hardly find that they ever taught or evaluated children self-confidence, leadership and decision making, Citizenship and values, Communication, and social relationship. An extraordinary teacher always conquers children fear. We can manage children with agreements but making learning fun and interactive need a teacher to learn the teaching skills. We, in EIS never allow teacher to enter in the classroom, until s/he has learnt the art of teaching. Our schools are regulated based on ETQAN framework of quality assurance. No learning can happen without children engagement, that is why our focus is from knowledge to skill development. We believe in holistic development of child, that is why ETQAN framework comprised of children learning achievements. Personal development, teaching and learning, support and guidance and leadership, management, and governance, regulate schools in terms of their practices.
