Abstract

• The United Nations (UN) has adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015 to meet crucial environmental, political and economic challenges. Its main theme is to end poverty by improving health, education, economic growth, reducing inequality, tackling climate change and preserving oceans and forests. It is a global partnership including both developed and developing countries to sustain the Earth Planet. Myanmar also takes part in accomplishing the 2030 SDGs Agenda. Among the SDG 17 goals, Goal 4- Quality Education is the utmost important as a driving force in poverty eradication, human and social capital development. This research aims to explore Myanmar’s way of achieving SDG 4 in cooperation with the UN specialized agencies such as the UNESCO and the UNICEF. These two agencies have assisted in Myanmar’s education development by funding, training and material support under the guidelines of the Myanmar government and internationally accepted principles. Even in COVID- 19 period, their cooperation continued through online learning programmes. Their cooperation is no string- attached and catalyst to Myanmar’s continuous education platform. This research analyzes how these two UN agencies have contributed to Myanmar’s education development during the period of 2011- 2020. The qualitative and descriptive method is used in the research by analyzing the primary and secondary data.
