Prevent Plastics & Phaung Daw Oo monastic school collaborates to introduce circular economy in the school community

Proper soil treating techniques impact the growth and health of the tree and its fruits. Thus, educating our future stars on waste and plastic awareness is imperative as they will grow up being aware of environmental predicaments and ways to live sustainable lifestyles. 

Phaung Daw Oo monastic school offers complete circular curricula for students from low-income families, ethnic monitories and war-torn areas who would not usually be able to attend school. The school’s guiding vision is to promote outstanding students who can become future leaders in society and allow all students to pursue their studies free of charge.

Prevent Plastics collaborates with Phaung Daw Oo Monastic Education to promote environmental literacy & introduction to sustainability, focusing on plastics pollution. Compiling Phaung Daw Oo’s profession over two decades in education sectors and technical expertise from Prevent Plastics and Thant Myanmar team, the teacher curriculum handbook on plastic waste awareness will be published.

The handbook will utilise intensive training for teachers in ten monastic schools from the Mandalay region and arrange awareness-raising workshops on waste management to introduce a circular economy at the school community are part of the collaboration.
