Class Map is currently being utilised by over 250 non-state schools across 12 states and regions in Myanmar. The app functions as a simplified EMIS, enabling schools to record daily attendance, develop school improvement plans, and report on emergencies. A recent review of the application identified the need for further enhancements to improve functionality, user experience, data quality, and reporting features, as well as strengthened user support during scale-up. The UNV will contribute to addressing these gaps by supporting system refinements, coordinating with technical partners, and assisting with the effective rollout and adoption of ClassMap in target schools.

Under the overall authority of the Regional Director of the UNESCO Regional Office in Bangkok and Office for UN Coordination in Asia and the Pacific (hereinafter called UNESCO), the direct supervision of the Head of UNESCO Project Antenna Office in Yangon and in close collaboration the Project Lead for Systems Strengthening, the UN Volunteer will undertake the following tasks:

• Provide expert technical guidance and oversee implementation of the recommendations outlined in the Comprehensive Review of Class Map Report.

• Work collaboratively with the Class Map software development company, the World Food Programme and other stakeholders to facilitate implementation of system up-grades, enhance platform functionality, co-develop user guides, and review Myanmar language content for accuracy and clarity.

• Conducts trainings and workshops for Class Map users to enhance their data man-agement and analysis skills and to build their capacity on effective use of the Class Map system and interpretation and application of education data.

The UNESCO Myanmar Project Office is located around 4km from the Yangon city center (Sule Pagoda), in a safe and tranquil area close to the UNDP compound and two major Embassies (Germany and Japan) as well as one of the most popular places in Yangon – Kandawgyi Lake. The office complies with the safety and security requirements of the United Nations Department of Safety & Security (UNDSS).

An increasing number of apartments with one or two bedrooms can be found in Yangon. Real estate agents are easily available to support the search for housing options. Another way is to join relevant Facebook groups, where property owners usually advertise vacant apartments. For a one- or two-bedroom apartment, the rent may cost around USD 500 to USD 1,500 per month, depending on the conditions and location. Generally, Yangon city is relatively safe compared to other cities of similar size in the region.

Usually, the most convenient way to commute is by taxi, which is about USD 2 one way from city center to the office. Plenty of taxis can be hailed in the streets or arranged using mobile applications such as GrabTaxi easily. Public buses, less than USD 0.2 one way, are also available but usually it may take at least ten minutes to walk to the office from the nearest bus stop. Having a private car is not necessary in Yangon.
